For those of you who dont get it, here's why I employ the flag as a means to symbolize who I am, and what I stand for:
A> I am White. (sorry, yall, not really southern, but my god-family was, and alot of my pals were.)
B> I am American, and Stars & Bars were here before Betsy got-to-stichin, folks,sorry to tell ya.
C> This flag does not stand for the idea of slavery, as many have come to believe. It stands for taking a stand for what you believe, and not letting the government order you to live a certain way, against your will.
( the funny part is that you "minorities used to feel this way 50 years ago! But now that everything turned in your favor, now you LOVE the goverment!! funny, that!!)
I never fought in the Civil War, nor did anyone in my family, that I am aware of. Therefore, this will never TRULY be the flag of my heritage.
But until someone offers me a flag that stands for all of these things, this IS my flag.
( Those of you who believe in flag burning.... come over. I'll email you the spot, and I dare you to try. Until you grow that big-o-balls, STFU with the threats.)
