For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -
is it conceivable that blacks who chose to move north have a different POV than those who chose to stay? Not the Yankee propaganda, but a selection bias perhaps?Originally posted by Patroklos
I just assumed your were being an ass, sorry, but I have never seen anyone make bones over its display that was from here. In fact, my black Summerall Guard classmates wore the old insignia with the flag on their blazer jackets."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

I am not sure how many move North, isn't the general trend migration to the South?
I don't live in the North though, so I don't know what they think besides what they tell me. Wezil asked about blacks in the South."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

What?
You are aware that non-whites, poor whites and females gained the right to vote sometime ago, right?
Majorities often favour policies that minorities would oppose.
I presume blacks were a minority in the flag vote you cite. Did a majority of them favour the flag (vote yes)?"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

I was thinking of the longer term trend. Black folks in the 1920s who particularly disliked the South would have been more likely to move north, and may have passed on their overall orientation to their kids.
The migration back in recent years was small by comparison."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

I imagine the answer is what Wezil wants to here, that they don't identfy with the flag. But I would say that would be because that is what they have been told to believe for what, 50 years now?"The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.

Northern Virginia isn't the south anymore. The new North-South dividing line stars with the Rappahannock, not the Mason Dixon line or the Potomac.Originally posted by DinoDoc
And still live in VA. The heart of the Confederacy.
BTW, Kuci, I've seen more Confederate Flags flying in Western PA than I have in Northern Virginia or even in tidewater Virginia. Ironic, isn't it.Last edited by Wycoff; June 12, 2007, 14:44.I'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - PekkaComment

More on topic, I saw a few Confederate Battle Flags flying in Germany. I wasn't sure whether they were being flown by Germans or by American ex-pats.
It's absurd to take down a Confederate flag on grounds of Fascism or totalitarianism. They just don't apply to the Confederacy. IMO, the Confederacy resembled the last gasp of Feudalism more than anything else.
However, I think that the Poles have a case if they base it on flying a flag that represents racism. For actual Southerners who fly the flag, there's at least implied racial undertones. For people to fly the flag who have absolutely nothing to do with the South (Poles, Germans, etc), then I can't really think of any other reason why they would want to fly it.I'm about to get aroused from watching the pokemon and that's awesome. - PekkaComment

All this talk about the Confederate battle flag representing an abstract devotion to states' rights is cute, but it wasn't a coincidence that Southern states hoisted them above their capitols after Brown v. BoE (not that criminalizing political expression isn't dumb)."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "
