Pretty sure we don't control the land in Germany and Japan.....
But I get your point.
Turf isn't land. Land is obsolete when it comes to power. Banking and monetary means are where the real power lay.
But I get your point!

Pretty sure turf is land. You can change what you said if you want. Known a lot of gangs. It was the turf they wanted and defended.

It seems as though very few of the Southerners here would agree with this. Revisionist history they would claim. How can you trust a liberal rag to be truthful?

The second CSA flag incorporated the battle flag on a field of white. The designer, William T. Thompson dubbed it "The White Man's Flag." "As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause," Thompson wrote in 1863.

The Rebel Flag obviously means one thing to certain whites and another to other whites. The flag shouldn't be banned or hidden because of the negative views of others. And another thing.....why now? Because a kid that went bonkers uses it the wrong way? Mass shootings in this country typically happen in gun free zones. It's gun free zones that should be banned. Not flags.

Kanye just takin' a fool's money.
“React how you want. Any energy you got is good energy. You know the confederate flag represented slavery in a way -- that's my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It's my flag now. Now what are you going to do?”
The Mother Emmanuel murders are not about guns, they are about race. Why do you interject guns into a discussion about the backlash of the Mother Emmanuel murders? He was a legal gun owner, and he wasn't a kid, he was a terrorist.
The flag represents one thing, no matter the excuses made by revisionists. Put in in your home, just don't fly it on public grounds.

The town in Brazil that embraces the Confederate flag...
..."Despite being a very mixed-race country, Levine says that the killings in Charleston are being seen in Brazil as more of a gun safety issue than a racial issue.
"When they see an event like what happened in South Carolina last week, they wonder if it's really so much better in the United States, safety-wise."

Fine. Brazil is a better place for it than the USA.

It is the anti rebel flag whackos that have interjected something into the equation. Not me. The flag issue was virtually dead until the shooting. That means you people think that the flag had anything to do with the murders. It didn't. And even if it did then that's on him. Everyone else that supports the flag for what it really is shouldn't suffer the consequences.
You don't have the right to define something for everyone else. Get off of your high horse and go read a history book that wasn't written by liberals.

Yes, and it was a short article.
I found this interesting:
"You know, the symbolism is totally lost on them, but for us it's quite a contrast," Levine says.

"anti rebel flag whackos"? You mean anyone opposed to the idea of slavery?
"supports the flag for what it really is"? A symbol of white superiority?
"read a history book that wasn't written by liberals"? Can you recommend one?

There's the rub though. What it 'means' to one person is 180 degrees from what it means for another.
If a citizen wants to fly the Confederate flag, by all means, they should be able to do so.
But IMO, it needs to come down from Government buildings.
How about we understand what it means, using the words of the man who created the design?? Forget all about "your" opinions, lets take the meaning from the creator himself...
This FLAG , was NEVER the official CONFEDERATE flag. IF you dummies actually knew anything, you would know that its ONLY use was for BATTLEFIELDS.
Thus, the term , BATTLE FLAG.
