@MaikuX3:

You're being intolerant of intolerance! You hypocrite!

No, but seriously:
The confederate flag is NOT a sign of intolerance. Are you high? It's a sign of pride for the South. Some of us proudly display that flag as a sign of where we come from.

If you'd come DOWN here instead of learning all that bull about us from your teachers/parents/biased history books, you'd know that.

You don't get beat up down here for being gay. I'M GAY.
You don't get beat up for being a different race, either.

It seems to me that while the South has moved beyond the 19th century, the rest of the country still thinks it's 1850 down here. COME DOWN AND SEE.

[quote=MaikuX3]The Confederate flag is not only an Alabama thing, pretty much redneck country pride. But its not limited to the south. In Southeast NH, there are a good amount of people who advertize the flag all over the place, and all they talk about is drinking crappy beer, watching WWE, screwing their 300 pound wife, and talking badly about anyone that is not a white straight conservative Christian. If they are that bad in the northeast, who knows how badly they are down "there"

Lucky I live in Boston, where someone with confederate logo would get their butt kicked in the city! [/quote]

Boston must be filled with intolerant and violent people then, to beat up someone based on their clothing.

[quote=LittleTLK]Historically, the WORLD has been a pretty racist place. Why signal out Alabama?
You think the North didn't have slaves?

And the Flag of Alabama is NOT a Confederate Flag. It's a red "x" on a white background. Get over it.

The people that fly the Confederate Flag don't fly it as a symbol of racism. The Confederate Flag doesn't mean what it used to.

Southerners are more regionally involved than the North or the West. The Confederate Flag is a symbol of the South's rebellious and non-conforming nature. The South is made up of people that are hard-headed and stick with what they believe to be true, regardless of what others think. There's a deep love of the South down here. It's our home. We love America, and we love the South. Those used to be admirable traits, but I see that's changed.

It's something you just won't get unless you live here for a while. We're not hicks and bums and hillbillies like Hollywood wants you to believe. We're not racists, for the most part. Every region has their bad people. We're not stupid. We're stubborn and talk a little funny compared to the rest of the country.[/quote]

I second this (yankee living in the south).
