Something that isn’t racist like all the other 49 states 🤦🏽‍♀️@Stefan136

@NoSugarCoating I am not familiar with this so well, that's why I'm asking, please don't mind if it's a sensitive question. Why are the flags racist?

Do you live in America @Stefan136

@Stefan136 The Confederate flag was created and flown by a treasonous coalition of U.S. states, which separated from the rest in order to preserve the deeply-racist institution of western slavery. This coalition was defeated in what Americans refer to simply as The Civil War and slavery was abolished nationwide. Pro-slavery and pro-confederacy sentiment lived on in the ex-separatist states, which is why the rebel flag still sometimes flies to this day.

@NoSugarCoating No. I only know the language but I am not familiar with the history of US to that degree. But yeah considering what BlueVeins said, it's too bad. I personally don't like racism. There's never a good reason to insult someone just because their skin color is white, black or whatever. That's just the effect of living in different climatic conditions and genetics passing that property, that's all there is to it. What one should focus on is personality, because that can change.
