[Mr. Friscus]

Your opinion is your opinion.

Yes, if one strips all meanings from things...then those things have no meaning. However, that isn't happening here.

Does the South still advocate for Slavery at all?

I mean, I would expect there would be some actual written stance in Southern rhetoric that one could point to.

Rhetoric need not be written.

What does...the South Will Rise Again, mean? Is that an attitude ever expressed by folks in the south?

It could mean many things:

IMO? Today, it probably means our federal government is getting too big, Liberal and Conservative values are becoming exclusive, and another Civil War is probably on the horizon, all things I agree with.

The difference is, I'd view it as a tragedy, but caused, once again, by both sides.

Right...because you strip all meaning from the past...

Right...because you strip all meaning from the past...

Words change, flags change, culture changes, society changes.

The phrase "I'm gay!"
It used to mean one was happy.
Now it means you're probably proudly attracted to the same sex.

The term "N*****r"
Used to be dehumanizing to black folk
Now it's a term of endearment amongst them.

The only reason you're clinging to the past here is, dare I ASSume (referring to myself) that you're not a big fan of the South, or the idea of "Southern Pride" yourself.

So, you're awesomely fine with stripping meaning from words and flags and all...N*****r remains a derogatory term.

You really are horrible at trying to figure out what I think...I'm from the South...I lived in Florida...and not the democratic coast, the conservative inland. I admit, I hate slavery...and yes...as every single state said it was a major reason for their secession, I believe it was. History...you know. It's a stain and it doesn't deserve a position of honor. Like I said to another battle flag defender...tattoo the dam thing on your forehead for all I care. Just do not fly it on State House grounds.

Yes...ASSeis a very good word for you...

I'm not clinging to the past in the slightest. I'm trying to get it into museums, where it belongs.
