Confederate flags to be banned from CMA country music festival

[IM2]

Try to stop me.

So if you run into a James Farmer and get your head blown off for taking that flag somewhere you shouldn't, then consider that a stop.

Ah...racism. How refreshing in this thread.

There's not one word about that statement that is false. Facts are racist?

 

[IM2]

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,”

The confederacy lost. It no longer exists.

It only lasted four years on paper, but in reality, the Confederacy still lives due to it's timeless southern traditions, culture, and heritage.

The confederacy is dead.

People who think the Confederate flag is about racism and hate have no idea what the flag stands for.

It represents an army which fought to support a government based on the inferiority of Blacks, Shirley?

I mean, the Cornerstone Speech made the government position clear enough.

Then it was resurrected as a symbol of opposition to Civil Rights. It's not exactly rocket science.

Oh. Perhaps to deplorables, fair enough.

You are delusional if you think that only one side supported the inferiority of blacks.

 

[cnm]

You are delusional if you think that only one side supported the inferiority of blacks.

From my reading, only one side formed a government based on that principle.

Lmao! You're right!

 

[bodecea]

So you're going to buy an anti america flag that represented people who were traitors and waged war against the United States just because you want to irritate somebody.

Find a life.

You put your finger on it.......right there.

The confederacy lost. It no longer exists.

And it only lasted four FAILURE years.

And it only lasted four FAILURE years.

Seems that "conservatives" worship failure.

You are delusional if you think that only one side supported the inferiority of blacks.

Both sides thought blacks were inferior. But the confederacy was a foreign country that waged war on the U.S. and lost.

Every word you said was wrong and racist.

That's exactly what that flag stood for and you're delusional if you think it didn't.

To ban it shows they have no idea either and just are just blowing down to internet asswipes that have no idea either. They just want to score social points is all it is.

The esg is in effect at the cma.

The flag is more than just about racism and hate, it’s also about treason, war crimes, and a lawless, unwarranted effort to destroy America.

Indeed, the flag is repugnant to the most fundamental principles of the American nation.

To ban the flag is perfectly appropriate and justified, as private organizations are at liberty to do – where to ban the flag is to reject the fear, ignorance, racism, bigotry, hate, and treason it represents.
