‘The wrong side of history': Artists hold Confederate flag burnings in 13 Southern states

There is hope for the U.S. yet. In the wake of the election of the first black president, we witnessed the awakening go the sleeping bigoted giant - calling itself the Tea Party.

It's time to shame these ugly fat stupid people back into their hateful little caves.

Artists and activists around a purported 13 Southern states followed through on a plan to burn and bury the Confederate flag on Monday, WTVM-TV reported.

“If you don’t see the hate that comes along with it, that has come along with it, if you don’t see the racism behind what has been founded with the usage of it, then you’re ignoring it,” said Terone Allen, who organized a ceremony in Atlanta as part of an exhibit by Sarasota-based artist John Sims.

Artists taking part in the various events shared “eulogies” they composed for the flag before burying it.

“You decided to fight for the wrong side of history,” said a speaker at the Atlanta ceremony, Egypt Robinson X.

It would have had a greater impact had the Koran be burned, since there actually is an islam, but since there isn't a confederacy, this is a pretty weak statement.

Conservatives are butthurt the con flag is burned. Cons love Con flag.

Oh and a reminder to cons: Southern democrats became republicans. Yup, the ones who started slavery and want to disenfranchise minorities are all in the republican party.

Don't believe me? Just look at the minority voting records. As they say, not all cons are racists, but all racists are cons.

As usual, RWs are ignorant of their own constitution.

The Bible and The Koran are equivalent in their promotion of violence and history of death and torture.

So, STFU, Xenophobe.

Many southern blacks have ancestors who fought for the Confederate flag.

Many = 5? (fight or be whipped to death)

It should be illegal to burn a confederate flag before all present parties urinate on it first.

 

[PredFan]

It's a stupid stunt by the Race Grievance Industry to further divide this country.

This picture doesn't count. It's obviously a reenactor. There are people from all over the world that reenact civil war battles, on both sides, and frequently change sides. A Japanese man I know participates every year in reenactments. He's been on both sides.

It's surprising that liberals haven't yet tried to outlaw reenactments.

 

[Sunni Man]

The are many black Civil War reenactor's who honor their ancestors who fought for the Confederate side. .....

The war is long over and the South was accepted back into the fold by the very generation that fought that war.

Their moronic descendants have no moral authority to rescind that forgiveness.

The Flag long ago morphed into a symbol of regional pride, not secession.

That is what this is about, slamming a region that is a stronghold of the GOP.

Regional bigotry.
