odin. you make valued points and i have heard them all.

without argument. let me just say. that the american flag is "a symbol of rebellion against tyranny. A symbol of sacrifice for your beliefs."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confede...s_of_secession
the main reason for secession

 

If you truly believe this, then you haven't put much effort into developing an informed opinion on the subject. You're entitled to your opinion; but, opinions DO vary in validity.

 

yeah the mexico flag isnt the same. we do have history. the mexican american war. but just not the same. if you went to live in another country you would still wear the american flag no doubt

 

That would be an opinion...and you say no doubt?

 

True it will be offensive to many people but "with or without the swastika".....who cares? Its his body and he can choose what he puts on it. I don't like the 50 million mexicans that walk around California with "brown pride" tattoed on them, and believe me it's not the fact that it's brown pride it's the fact that if I had "white pride" all of the sudden I'm the racist, not them. Same with the black community and Malcolm X tattoos or Farrakhan quotes. If it regards a culture other than caucasian it's ok because they are somehow being oppressed and need to act out against said oppressive establishment! I'll put whatever i want on my body and guess what if you don't like it...... I don't really give a $#%^

rant done

 

And love it above all others. It doesn't mean I can't have a righteous affinity for the rebel flag. Ask Texans how they feel about their flag.

 

im definitly gonna get flamed, but...

i like the eagle. i like the confederate flag. and i even like some of the things they stand for. does that make me a racist, bigot, or supremist??? i dont think so. if people are offended by the looks of something and never take the time to find out what it really stands for or really means, then which one of us is the ignorant one?

 

Your right it is his body. But hes the one that posted it up wanting to know what everyone thought about it.
I have a whole arm of different ****. I didnt want anyones opinion but he does so we gave it to him

 

Agreed! I wasn't commenting on the OP's original statement I was commenting on Dirt Bike Dave's post, and believe me absolutely no disprespect to Dave or the OP or anyone else for that matter, I just think that too many people get caught up with trying to be PC and not forming their own opinions based on what they believe.

 

Thank you for doing what most fear! Does that make you a racist, bigot, or supremist..that depends on whoever is scrutinizing it's point of view based on their beliefs and upbringing. Who am I to tell you what you believe, will most people agree with you...... absolutely not....... does that mean you should change what you truly believe...... hell no!

 

Well said

 

exactly!!!

 

Is the eagle not a symbol of the United States? Pretty sure that there is one on the presidential seal.



OH CRAP! Every president of the United States, has been a....

 

first let me say. brown pride is the same as white pride. malcom x was a leader of a movement. though he was very prudent in getting his point across. so i understand your comment roush. farrakhan is the nation of islam. thats a religion.

see i got lucky in life if you ask me
My mother is White "German/Irish"
My Father is Black

all my life i have been the butt of soo many racial jokes. you know how many of my Caucasian freinds think i want to hear dumb black jokes.
and to make it worse when im around black people i get jokes because im light skinned.

because of this i think im am totally un biased racially. i dont like racism of anykind (toward white/black/hispanic/jewish.. etc)
i look at eveything from two points of view. i never answer my race when its asked because im human not black not white.

just an opinion from a less heard point of view

 

so how do you feel about racial pride? do you feel that too is racism? not trying to start a fight just trying to understand you opinion.
