Re: Confederate Flag
Slavery was their reason for secession... well.. it was the nexus of their many political reasons. The WAR was to preserve their independence from the Union. Related, but not the exact same thing (just like my police officer example).
I have not claimed that it is unreasonable for black Americans to be offended........
However, this idea that special protected minority groups have the right to not be offended, while the White Male (apparently the most evil body a spirit can by chance be placed in) does not also have this protection.
I do not have a doctorate degree.
I don't know what you're trying to say. The reason for the civil war was that the south refused to endure an end to slavery. The confederate flag is a symbol of that refusal, and therefore a symbol of racist oppression. I don't see how you can possibly agree with so much, and yet deny that it is reasonable for a black American to be offended, intimidated, denigrated, or belittled by the confederate flag.
