cause of the day: confederate flag nonsense..kanye calls it "his flag"
only took senseless race killings to revisit this and to probe the meanings from liberal america. for me, i never really thought too much about the confederate flag.
to me it was wasn't about racism but more about stupid southern rednecks who had the flags and insignia's on/around their trucks, belt buckles and another trashy stuff to look cool and embrace the south....i always laughed at these half wit molly hatchet listening donkey's.
only a couple of years ago that idiot kanye west put it on his line of clothing. i guess you can make anything cool if you want to,..and stand behind it if it makes you money.

The Confederate flag: a symbol of racism for some, but a fashion choice for Kanye West.
The rapper was spotted Saturday wearing a jacket emblazoned with the flag after being criticized for featuring it on merchandise for his current “Yeezus” concert tour, People reports.
In an interview Monday with Los Angeles radio station 97.1 AMP, West explained why the former flag of Southern states during the Civil War made its way into his merchandise.
“You know, the Confederate flag represented slavery in a way – that's my abstract take on what I know about it,” he said, according to People. “So I made the song 'New Slaves.' So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It's my flag. Now what are you going to do?"
