Flag removals and really??!! The General Lee!??

Wow this Confederate flag thing all of a sudden is moving really fast. South Carolina takes down its flag. Retail corporations ban the manufacturing and sale of it. Even Warner Bros. now says the Dukes of Hazzard car, General Lee will not feature the flag anymore!
(General Lee is not the General Lee without the flag but i'll leave that argument for another day)
So in the words of Mr. Joker "What happened? Did your balls drop off?"
All these years of picking up your shotgun and standing on the soapbox yelling how its a symbol of southern pride and whatever. Pride in what? Pride in rebelling against your country and government and then fighting and killing your own countrymen?
I veer off of my point.
That point being why after all these years everyone suddenly has realized that you shouldn't be flying the flag that although it wasn't the official Confederate States flag, it did represent a division of the southern army during their attempt to fight their own government over an obviously uncivilized practice.
But lets take this further. Lets take this in the direction of who the fuck gives a shit about some fucking flag some southerners fly? This flag comes up as a part of the racism conversation but does a flag make you a racist? Does not flying it automatically mean you're not? Do you think that only white southerners that fly this flag are racist in this country?
And what about the idea that on the heels of so much controversy and injustice involving the African American community, the removal of this in fact insignificant flag is a completely empty victory in the battle against the true enemy...... racism.
People seem to be eating this shit up not realizing that its only a consolation prize. An appeasement. A peace pipe filled with all the good, sweet, apologetic bull shit you want to hear that will convince you to stop protesting, and arguing and fussing and fighting and so on.
You give a crying baby a pacifier to shut him up. This "rebel flag" is the pacifier to all of us who would see racism finally done away with.
Are we really so naive to think that a fucking flag is needed when some ignorant fool begins to teach his kids to hate any one in a darker skin tone than them?
So naive to think that the removal of this flag is going to stop or even curb racism in the south or any other part of this country?
Or even so naive to think that we've defeated this big symbol and supporter of oppression and racism? Flags don't support racism. Racism supports racism. Racist people support racism. And not all of them wave a fucking flag to tell you so.
We need to wake up folks. This flag is NOTHING. It means NOTHING. Thats why everyone is so quick to just give it up now. All we've done is actually create another symbol of hate. Symbols like the swastika flag or a white hood or a burning cross.
Remember that somethings are not truly evil until you label it as such. And now we have. Now the next ignorant, hateful asshole that needs some "symbol" of his pain and suffering and hate will have yet another ready to wear token. This flag is hated and so must be as evil as I am.
Nice job America.

You've been bitten,

My name is Rachel and i'm [fill in the blank].

Why doesn't this woman realize that its not even about her identifying with African Americans or as such but its about posing and passing herself off as and lying about who you are?
She claims its more complicated than just answering the question. No stupid, it isn't. Did you lie and tell people you are black? Simple.

I love Bollywood movies and Indian food. And even if I had married an Indian woman and had little Puerto Rican/Indian kids and lived in Bombay that still doesn't fucking make me all of a sudden, Indian!
You fucking lied. And you can say well people misidentified me as mixed or black. That is even worse because you KNEW that people had your race mistaken and you STILL kept it up!
Its fantastic that your boys love their mom no matter what race you are but what are you teaching them about being liars?
This is absolutely not about black and white for me, its about you being a liar.

And to the NAACP and to every and any other company, agency, coalition, organization etc etc down to the fucking local social bridge club that does or may represent a specific race, nationality or interest..... The most qualified person to lead you is the most qualified person to lead you. While it may help in some cases to have one of your own, in some cases it might be a hindrance. Can't fight prejudice with prejudice.


And while im here and have your attention. There's a very important election on the horizon. Please educate yourselves on who you will and will not be giving your votes to and why. Don't take this shit sitting down and don't sit down without taking action.
