Confederate flags to be banned from CMA country music festival

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Where was the North (federal) government threatening to eliminate slavery? Link that threat.

Good god. I'm not giving you a history lesson.

What reason did the South have for leaving? Just for shits and giggles?

NOW you're saying secession was NOT about slavery?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

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

It stands for a country that was an enemy to the United States of America. Flying it is no different than flying this

or this

I don't care what deplorable mutants on the fringes of society think. I only care that we are bullying you off main street. The shadows and alleys and gutters are were your kind belong.

I bet you feel better now, don't you?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Don't give me that bullshit revision of history.

I SAW THOSE WITH MY OWN 2 EYES in 1992!!!!

yes you did, but the Clinton/Gore campaign did not make them.

It is disrespectful to the American flag to have another flag flying at the same height or higher. Worse than kneeling.

It's ok in any state for them to be at the same height as long as they're on separate poles.

4 U.S. Code § 7 - Position and manner of display

No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America​

If you want more info on poles, you'll have to ask BootLicker... he's an expert on licking those too.

I do. This news warms my heart.

Good for you.

Sometimes folks just need some external validation.

I agree.

Just like flying these:

[bodecea]

You mean you believe your lying eyes over the sterling word of a leftist pig?

So says the liar that he saw a con-federate Clinton-Gore pin in 1992.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

yes you did, but the Clinton/Gore campaign did not make them.

You and Pete probably need to get on the same page

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

But, guilt by association, right? That's what we've seen recently, is it not?

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Golfing Gator probably remembers seeing those pins too.

Guilt by association. You pinned that on ANYONE who supported Trump, so take your medicine, you white supremacist supporter.

DO try to keep up....the South, while seceding, said secession was about protecting their slavery. They were paranoid (and it showed)....the North wasn't threatening their slavery by electing Lincoln in 1860....He just wanted to prevent the growth of slavery into the new territories.

 

[Faun]

Another uneducated fool

Who taught you loons(

The states themselves who explained a reason for seceding was to keep their slaves.

Ah, but they ARE flying that second one. We even have posters here that put that second one in their avatars.

"bullying"?

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,”

lol

They just lost half their customers.

Nashville, which is already broke, no one there can make a living anymore - is going woker and broker.
