So????????value up or down on this car as we move forward with this crap.

[StAnger]

I'm sick of these whiny fucking pieces of shit.

Getting old real quick. People who don't have a clue and who'll buy any political bullshit that is forced on them because they aren't smart enough to learn the truth for themselves

[5.4MarkVIII]

In the interest of being informed can someone fill me in on what they are talking about when they refer to confederacy?

I understand the whole south had slaves but so did those in the north at the time.

The flag is the battle flag and by far not the only one flown even by the south

I understand that the KkK has used the flag but they flunthe American flag too. So why isn't it racist?

In her outrage here in Canada, she's referencing American (southern) history and an American war....what an idiot. I suppose she's protesting outside the TV stations that still air the show?

I couldn't tell for sure, she may be more of Caribbean descent rather Southern American.
I know they are all generally from Africa, but the civil war had nothing to do with the Caribbean.

I'm sympathetic to the fact things don't always play out as they should in our society but it's incidents like this that make me care just a little less. To me, things like this are only offensive if you so choose. Like my friend Jumpy use to say in the mod forum on GTAMC, Rick, water off a ducks back.
Wise words to live by.
Night to all.

Yes I think she is Caribbean (Jamaica?). I meant the American south (South Carolina) which is where the Confederate War was waged - she kept referencing the Confederates losing (and the history of the flag; lynchings, etc) as a reason the car/flags shouldn't be on display....but she's in Canada where none of this happened (at least not to Africans). Maybe on a stretch she might be able to make that argument in South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, etc, but Toronto?

I don't think racisam and lynchings were solely commited by the south. Pretty sure that kinda thing happened all over the place. So why make it sold about that flag (the flag that dosnt even represent the south, the flag on the general lea is not actual the true confederate flag. So crazy lady thinking she knows history dosnt really know history.

It was mostly representative of the south during the slave trade and as recent as the 1960's (in the south) but yes, it did occur in other places.

My point was about your last sentence.

[Not4you]

Some in the North did have slaves before the war but it was the North that was supporting abolishing them, changing the laws. The South were fighting to keep the laws in place. So while slavery was in the North pre-war, they have come away as innocent in the slavery argument as we move further and further from the time period in to an age where the truth is being lost as people are not studying history deep enough to retain the real stories.

I speak for myself here too as I just learned much of what I know a couple few years back when I visited Gettysburg.

So her arguing that the south lost and were the only ones involved in slavery is complete bullshit. Sure they faught to keep it, and lost, but there is a lot to the story that this idiot is missing.

Visiting and taking in all there is to offer in Gettysberg should be a mandatory trip for everyone both young and old, so much history. For Dad, Ross and I, previously though highlight of our trip was the show at Carlisle.

[RedSN]

Do you think the redneck proudly displaying the flag on the mud flaps of his lifted, rolling coal Dodge really knows the true history of the flag? Of course not. The flag has no relevance in this century.

As a child, witnessed a racial incident while visiting my grandparents in a very upscale Southern Alabama University town that I'll never forget. Tirade of profanity, threats and racial BS from a very old white women upon a guy who was doing what appeared to be nothing more than trying to park his car was unprovoked and ridiculous. Cherry popped on a kid of 6 or 7 experiencing hatred and ignorance at it's finest.
Just as eye opening, seeing first hand what "other side of the tracks" really meant. People living in conditions unfit for an animal let alone human beings. I simply could not get my head around how beautiful the stereotype southern mansions were on the one side of town while just across the tracks things were dramatically different. While slavery may be long since behind us, some people on both sides still carry a ton of baggage along with them.
Yes the past n history can suck absolute balls, only way we can move forward is respect and embrace what we've learned and make sure it never happens again. Dragging hatred forward means we are moving forward in time only, not making positive change.

For me the show was just good, but the Gettysburg tours we did that same week were amazing. I'd do both again.

In the US north, yes. Slavery was abolished in Canada while Canada was still a British colony...plus the confederate flag has no symbolism here. The history she is quoting isn't really relevant or accurate in the context of her outrage here.

[mavrrrick]

If she finds it offensive, thats ok, we understand....now just walk away. No need to make a scene about it. What she is doing is just fueling the feelings of some.

It is misguided outrage. The car is obviously an homage to the iconic Dukes of Hazard General Lee. There is no malice intended in the paint job that happens to include the Confederate battle flag. I can sympathize with the outrage if the flag were displayed in any other context.

Curious; would a similar outrage occur if you painted a plane with the iconic paint scheme displayed on the bf109?

No malice intended, bu yet there it is: an icon that is despised by a large population.

This is similar to what I was going to type next but maybe a better examples. The "flag" in this example is not an homage to confederacy, but an homage to much loved television program. I'm 1000% perfect in favor of not promoting hate or racism, but this is misguided at best. Also, I hate the era of the 1% who is "offended" setting the rules for the 99% who are indifferent or in favor.

We all came away thinking the exact same thing.
Touring the area, can't help but feel the history.

A bit unrelated but heard a good quote by Evan Solomon on Ottawa radio today. Trudeau just renamed the Langevin block at The Parliament buildings today to something ridiculous like the PMO of Canada and the Privy council building. Langevin was a father of confederation, also was the architect of the Residential School System,
( which truly was a black eye on Canada).
His comment was judging our forefathers on our beliefs and values of today, compared with what their era knew, just isn't a fair comparison. Morals and beliefs change over time, and we would effectively erase a huge portion of our history by removing all these references to our past.

Just to test the hypothesis (not saying I agree with JT), how would this work if applied to Germany in the 1930's or the US south pre-emancipation?

All I see lately is division more and more from "us and them actions". Campuses have became the hot spots for segregation and division and its groups like black lives matter that are doing it.

So it's not okay for a white person to want a white Dr but it is okay for a black person to want a black teacher?

Just another stupid LibTARD, this Cow is particularly irritating, with her grating voice and profanity.

Torontonians, should be concerned that this Radical is involved with the Schools.
