Confederate flags to be banned from CMA country music festival

Sigh....go pretend to be a lesbo

Evidently leftist loons have no clue why the confederacy seceded and I'm not interested in your lack of knowledge
From the VP of the con-federacy.....but catfish "knows better. :rolleyes:

The new Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutionAfrican slavery as it exists among us—the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson, in his forecast, had anticipated this, as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him, is now a realized fact. But whether he fully comprehended the great truth upon which that rock stood and stands, may be doubted. The prevailing ideas entertained by him and most of the leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old Constitution were, that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally and politically. It was an evil they knew not well how to deal with; but the general opinion of the men of that day was, that, somehow or other, in the order of Providence, the institution would be evanescent and pass away. [...] Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error. It was a sandy foundation, and the idea of a Government built upon it—when the "storm came and the wind blew, it fell."[5][
 
Looks like I won't be tuning in. What a travesty to ban the Confederate flags which are southern pride cultural icons. These triggered woke sensitive cowards that banned the flags have no sense of reality and respect for beautiful southern heritage, traditions, and culture.


One of the biggest country music festivals has put its boot down: No more Confederate flags. The Country Music Association added “Confederate flag imagery of any kind” to the prohibited items list at the upcoming CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee. The four-day festival is scheduled June 9-12 after a two-year postponement during the COVID-19 pandemic, the association announced online.

The association said the decision to ban Confederate flag imagery was an updated part of the policy to protect the safety of fans, according to a statement obtained by The Tennessean. “This year’s CMA Fest is our first major fan-facing event in nearly three years. We have always had policies in place that protect the safety of our fans and ban discrimination, but we felt it was important to further refine our language to explicitly outline what will and will not be tolerated,” the CMA said in the statement, according to The Tennessean.

"In line with our first CMA Fest lineup announcement in early April, our event policy was published on our website, which states any behavior that causes one of our attendees to fear for their personal safety will not be tolerated, and that is inclusive of any displays of the Confederate flag.” McClatchy News reached out to the CMA for comment on June 2 and was awaiting a response. Organizations such as the Stagecoach Festival in California and NASCAR have banned Confederate flags as well. NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace told NPR that he was proud of the racing organization, which banned the symbol in June 2020. “No one should feel uncomfortable when they come to a NASCAR race. So it starts with Confederate flags. Get them out of here. They have no place for them,”


No......the Democrat party pro-slavery flag should never be around any Republicans.....the democrat flew that flag when they started a war to keep black human beings as their slaves...

It took a lot of Republicans with guns....shooting a lot of democrats to free black Americans........we shouldn't fly their democrat party slave owner flag....
 
Here's the thing guys.
The Confederate flag has been appropriated by the left to be a symbol of slavery, so no matter what you do, you simply are not going to be able fly it without being viewed as being 'pro-slavery'.
The left and it's MSM will paint you that way, so going in you're going to have to realize this is how it's going to be.
I understand the arguments of it being a show of 'southern culture', and 'southern pride', but unfortunately you are simply screwed on this one.
No advertiser of today will want any connection whatsoever with that flag and or the symbol, so they'll all bend over and grab their ankles.
It's a lost cause, you'll never be able to use it WITHOUT that association.
Just as white people at one time commonly used the "N" word, today if you do now there will be harsh consequences no matter how hard you try to avoid it.
 
And Stephen Douglas was the Democrat nominee. You didn't know that?

Stop with your stupid deflections you were WRONG which I showed by hard evidence, and I knew Douglas was Democrat for decades and knew that Breckinridge was the V.P. (Youngest in U.S. history at age 36) under Buchannan who was...... Democrat you ignorant asshole!

Grow up you jack ass!
 
I must say.....good for the CMT. :clap:

Oh come on, like they had much of a choice. They are simply giving in to the mob like all other enterprises and corporations of today, they don't want to deal with the punishment that will be wrought down upon them if they don't fall in line.
 
The only people going extinct are idiot negros like you.

I prefer hard-working Hispanics over you any day of the week and twice on Sundays. And they don't vote lock-step on the Dem plantation like your stupid black asses.

:laughing0301:
Save your money boys, the South will rise again.

Douglas was the Democrat nominee....the Southern states walked out of the con-vention and created two new parties and ran their own candidates. Learn your history.
 
Blue is the Democrats. Stephen Douglas. Red is Republican....Green and Orange are two different parties created after the Southern states WALKED OUT of the Democrat con-vention in 1860. Don't you know any American history?

They walked out AFTER the election you idiot!

The Election was NOVEMBER 2,1860.

The eleven states of the CSA, in order of their secession dates (listed in parentheses), were: South Carolina (December 20, 1860), Mississippi (January 9, 1861), Florida (January 10, 1861), Alabama (January 11, 1861), Georgia (January 19, 1861), Louisiana (January 26, 1861), Texas (February 1, 1861), Virginia (April 17, 1861), Arkansas (May 6, 1861), North Carolina (May 20, 1861), and Tennessee (June 8, 1861). Secession was declared by pro-Confederate governments in Missouri and Kentucky (see Confederate government of Missouri and Confederate government of Kentucky), but did not become effective as it was opposed by their pro-Union state governments.

No there were no new political parties as the South was already dominated by the Democrat party as the 1856 Presidential election shows clearly where Buchanan a DEMOCRAT won ALL of the Southern states.

You really should stop now as you keep making a fool of yourself.

Why are you showing the 1856 election? We are talking about the 1860 election when the Democrat, Stephen Douglas ONLY won Missouri.
 
You are lying sack of shit!

You should try using that small brain more often since ALL of the deep south were run by Democrats heck Lincoln didn't win a single southern state while the TWO democrat candidates did as shown here:

You are truly a stupid person who commonly run off at the mouth making stupid unsupported assertions.
That was over a century and a half ago. Every time this subject comes up, today's Republicans try to pretend they're as decent as those of the party of Lincoln. They're not, which is why Blacks overwhelmingly vote Democratic. I think today's Republicans ought to fly the Confederate flag. Let it all hang out.

You are too stupid to understand why I posted it, but I will point out the Democrat party in the ENTIRE south voted for a Democrat Buchanan in 1856 as they voted for DEMOCRATS Douglass and Breckenridge who are both DEMOCRATS.

Your brain turned on yet?

History may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. The Southern slave owners abandoned the Democrat Party in 1860.....and then Southern Segregationists abandoned the party again in the 1960s over Civil Rights.
