I Like The Rebel Flag

[b]So what does it mean to you?[/b]
[i]Do you know what it means for others?[/i]
Is that important?

back in American history when many were coming thru Ellis island, many Jewish people were illiterate,,
so when they said I cant sign my name, I cant right

[[c=#7700B2]quote]it's okay just make an X [/quote][/c]

[c=#800000][quote]NO i wont make an X, will an O do?[/quote]

he would not make an X because for him it was the way many jews were crucified,, up on an[b][b] X[/b][/b] shape in eastern Europe
[/c]
the Yiddish word for an O was Kikle "circle" hence the derogative name they got at that time "Kike"

I am a southerner,, and tho I got an idea as a young child it wa a symbol of tradition of history and honor

Later I learned how much it scared friends of mine.

How should we deal?

Unfortunately some parade the Rebel flag around to intimidate and make a point. They are the problem.

It's not the actual confederate flag, it was used because the real confederate flag and the US flag were 2 similar and caused problems on the battlefield. It's a battle standard only.
yes! you understand that difference..
yet that meaning is lost on a lot of people
they see that images as meaning something else

Nice flag for a biker or hard rock bars. Plan to buy one for my own room.
you Know what your black neighbors would think about that right?

Yea, but still, not caring is strong in me. I can do what ever I want in my room.
Also, in the Balkan area we don't have a "Black" problem, we all hate each other equally as we love. <3
ahh the Balkans! ( love to visit) some of your neighbors might feel odd about a swastika or a Crescent Moon and star.
and Black is not a problem here,, it is the way the media sets us all against ourselves
and yeah in private,, ther is more freedom

It doesn’t bother me a lot, but it’s associated with so much hate.
