The south is the only place I know of where they fly the flag of the enemy.

even if he were southern, the thing most people call the confederate flag has nothing to do with their heritage, and even if it did, they attacked the united states of america. they should remember that heritage but not with pride.

I can understand PART of the argument about " pride". Except that most people who have a Confederate BATTLE flag are less Bo and Luke Duke, and more David Duke.

" Pride" is shorthand for "I hate the government and would rather think with my gun and dick then my brain".

IMO the display of Confederate flags means little or nothing in most cases, except maybe as a cry for attention. It certainly has nothing to do with national allegiance.

I give it about the same importance as a football banner. Have a big reaction and you play right into their hands.

That was rude of him. He's obviously very confused about history.

"southern pride". what is that. you notice there's no such thing as "northern pride"? you never hear that phrase.

the only "heritage" of the south exemplified by that flag is the right of people to own other people. there is no other meaning. all arguments about the subject lead back to "they wanted to form their own country because they were afraid of losing the right to own other people".

Send him this video... about how sumbols are thinly disguised.

Doesn't sound like you found a match with this person huh

Confederate flags in Kansas really bother me. It wasn't called Bleeding Kansas for no reason.

The only person in my life that had anything “confederate” on him was a numnut loser and a horrible lover. All his idiosity aired out during the 2016 elections- and he even had the guts to scream in my face when I told him I didn’t vote for wigged orange #45.

Maybe it’s wrong of me to stereotype and generalize people just for one quality like this, but honestly I’m done trying to see what’s deep down for a reason.

Go find someone else. He most likely is not worth your time and effort. Next thing you know he’s going to bitch to you about your views and non-believing existence throughout the relationship.

I’ve been there, done that - and I really wish I had made a better decision and not waste my time.

I don't think being from some arbitrary geographic region that's actually quite large and diverse should create an expectation that your opinions wouldn't vary much. Opinions vary by that much and more within single family units.

That argument always cracks me up, these young people with second hand knowledge of the civil war era. Good on you for attempting to educate him.
