One of the biggest country music festivals has put its boot down: No more Confederate flags. The Country Music Association added Confederate flag imagery of any kind to the prohibited items list at the upcoming CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee.

About time country music fans were forced to join civilized society.

It was always a silly symbol but I still support "reclaiming it". It means southern pride to a hell of a lot more people than it does supporting the actual confederacy. Probably more people than actually supported the confederacy during the war. That said, no great loss. The people who wave it are typicaly morons whichever way you slice it.

Why reclaim it? It's first two claims were "Committing treason because we want to own black people" and "intimidating black people so they stop thinking they deserve equal rights".

Burn the shit to ash and then piss on the ashes.

No one can even explain how or why a few of the darkest years in American history is inextricable from all the good qualities of the South and is source of pride.

the confederate flag means southern pride just as much as the Nazi flag means German pride

Why reclaim any hateful or derogatory symbols? If it stops meaning hate it can no longer be used for hate.

Why not just come up with a new symbol instead? New flags seem to be popping up every single day. Give the vexillographers something to do.

please stop equating "Southern" with "White Southern", Black Southerners are every much as claimants to being Southern and we have long disliked the flag.

I'm asking you. Blows my mind.

But let me know when non-racist people start trying to reclaim Third Reich iconography or weep that all the statues have been removed from public.

Paying for a rebel flag in the first place is moronic. Paying for something, then burning it because you think you are sticking it to the person you just gave money to is childish.

That's true. Let's not be like people who protested Starbucks having red cups by patronizing the business.

A petty difference within context. I've seen plenty of the actual CSA flag on decals and bumper stickers anyway.
