THE REBEL FLAG

[Jimbone]

Now that is shocking, Jimbone. Truly.

Do you identify with its historical symbolism of white supremacy, and/or do you just consider yourself a proud and rebellious Southerner?

LOL, no, it's not what you think... I'm not white supremacist or a proud and rebellious Southern. Not even a racist, as some have suggested here...

I was taking off the registration sticker ago put the new one on, then glanced up at a window cling I had put on in January:



ETA: The Civil War Trust is a non-profit that purchases and saves historical land from being developed, or it buys developed land and returns it to its Civila War era state. Most of the land is in or around existing Civil War battlefield sites, so they generally acquire the land and then turn it over to whoever runs the park (National Park Service or other state agency). They also run great educational programs for people of all ages, and have a really good website and apps for those interested in learning more about the Civil War.

I support them because at a young age I spent time at a Civll War battlefield (Gettysburg), and I think it was there I developed a real love of all history. I want to make sure other little bones have the same chance years from now.


Now I'm not going to take it down, because I don't find its use in any way, shape, or form offensive. But I guess someone could argue it is. That's what makes this all seem a little knee jerk to me... but the jerking continues, as now eBay is banning Confederate flag items too, along with Walmart and Sears.

Your move Amazon.
