Don Breezio:
yeah i was thinking the same thing trauma said...i dont know what it symbolizes for sure but ive never heard that it symbolizes slavery

Trauma-san:
^ Oh, I've heard it, all the time, by ignorant motherfuckers who don't know shit about it.  Just because you hear it, doesn't make it true, though.  

MANBEARPIG.:
^FITTING, comin from two racist ass cracka muthafukkas! defendin' the slave flag an shit^


Just playing :P, you are both right, Ignorant peeps such as SnoopGogg and Mick who gave trauma shit about the flag not too long ago don't understand that from 1956 to 2001 it was Georgia's state flag, all rappers from Georgia grew up under this flag.  they are obviously not promoting slavery it is being used as a symbol of empowerment for some, but people who are still uneducated and butt-hurt about the world around them still see it as a symbol for slavery. Sad.

JTSimon:
Confederate flag IMO is not a symbol of slavery but the Confederacy was fighting to save slavery in the south...so people associate slavery to the Confederate flag.

 

Trauma-san:
It's about Heritage.  They come from the south, and they fly the confederate flag, which is a symbol of the strength of the south.  It's more of a rebel thing.  When slaves were brought over here from Africa, there were American flags flying from the ships, not Confederate battle flags.  The civil war was fought over a miriad of reasons, all of them centered around the power of states versus the power of the Union.  Slavery was one of the issues, but not the reason the entire south decided to secede from the union.  The flag represents the south as a whole, and the unique and strong spirit of the south, not that we want to keep slaves.  Anybody that thinks that is a fucking idiot.  

After the civil war, the south was destitute.  It was like hell, everyone was poor, nobody had any money, even the people that did lost it all because most of them made it on the backs of slaves.  Most of the slaves had nowhere to go, and now had no support or places to stay.  They faced racism until today, when they still face racism in many places... the people that weren't slaves were just as poor, and the whites had it as bad as the slaves because now they all had to compete for the same few jobs, the same sharecropping opportunities, etc. etc.  The south wasn't industrialized.  All they had to go on was the human spirit to strive and be successful and strong, and the beauty of the land.  The south is an amazingly beautiful place, unique to the world, and when a southerner flies a Confederate Flag, he's embracing and remembering all of the evil, all of the beauty, and all of the spirit that have made the south what it is today.
