Some Southern (and Northern ) Caucasian Americans, claim that the Confederate flag is a symbol of ‘ Southern Heritage and Pride. ‘

Since I have been living in the United States of America; many people whom I have encountered who were displaying the Confederate flag, were openly racist in their behaviour towards people of African descent.

Their rude, and disrespectful behaviour towards people of African descent; gave the true reason, why they were displaying the Confederate flag.

Many of them are using the ‘ Southern Heritage and Pride ” story in order to display a flag that symbolizes a history of slavery , lynching , discrimination , brutality , murders , the bombing of African American churches and homes , etc. etc.

Many of them know that the real reason why they are displaying the flag is to express some type of racial sentiment and not about Southern Heritage or Pride.

Many of these Caucasian racists have tried to use the rebel flag as a kind of ‘ boogie man ‘ to try to scare and frighten African Americans.

MASSACRE IN A CHURCH AND THE REBEL FLAG

Because of the recent terrorist massacre of the nine Christian African Americans in a church in South Carolina, the media has changed the focus from a deranged individual who murdered innocent Christians of African descent; to one about removing the Confederate flag from Southern States’ government buildings.

All the news reports now are all about removing the Confederate flag and nothing about this horrific terrorist act; committed by the self-acknowledge racist, Dylann Roof .

Once again the media is directing and controlling the sentiments of the American people.

If the Confederate flags are removed from being displayed in Southern States’ government buildings, how will this change the racist behaviour of Caucasians in America?

The removal of the flags will only make those who claim it represents Southern Heritage and Pride; to start displaying it more on their cars, homes, t-shirts etc.

CONFEDERATE FLAG USED AS A BOOGIE MAN SYMBOL

My solution is for African Americans to get rid of the ‘ boogie man‘ scare effect of the Confederate flag.

Many of these Confederate flag displayers are using it as a scare tactic .

They are trying to terrorise African Americans with their display of the Confederate flag.

I remember seeing one with the Confederate flag on his vehicle; driving continuously up and down a street where there were African Americans around.

He was trying to get a reaction from those who saw his ‘rebel’ flag.

EMBRACE THE CONFEDERATE FLAG IN A DIFFERENT FORM

I would love to see African Americans who were born in the South, to start displaying the Confederate flag on their cars, T-shirts, jackets etc.

Not the Confederate flag as it is now; but a modified version of the flag.

This should be done with a respectful modifications to the Confederate flag.

Not anything that would be deemed disrespectful or offensive to those who claim that it symbolizes Southern Heritage or pride.

Something like this:

I wonder how the Caucasian racists who claim the flag is about Southern Heritage and Pride will react to that.

I am sure that they will not be pleased . Because truthfully the majority of these Confederate flag supporters; are racists to the core.

Their hypocrisy about the flag being about Southern Pride and Heritage instead of Caucasian racism, will be exposed.

MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE SOUTHERN ROOTS

Aren’t many African Americans also children of the South?

Shouldn’t they also be proud of their Southern Heritage.

If it wasn’t for the slave labour of their ancestors; the South would never have achieved the great wealth and power, it had during the 19th century.

The beautiful buildings, mansions, iron works in many Southern cities all done by their slave ancestors.

There are so many , many things that African Americans from the South must be proud of .

Read about this outstanding member of their race:

Horace King the slave who was a Master Builder during the times of slavery See the article below: https://chiniquy.wordpress.com/2020/05/05/horace-king-the-master-builder-during-the-times-of-slavery/ As said above; there are many things about the South, that Southern born African Americans should be proud of.

There is historical precedent for them embracing the Confederate flag.

THE CROSS OF CHRISTIANITY

The Roman empire placed human being on crosses to create fear in those who opposed their rule.

The cross was a symbol that the Romans used to terrorise their unruly subjects into obedience.

Jesus of Nazareth was reported to have been crucified on a cross.

Christians for centuries have used the symbol of the cross to show their love and reverence for Jesus.

Everywhere in the world you will find people wearing crosses around their necks.

If tha t symbol of torture and death can be changed into a symbol of salvation, then we can and must change the symbolism of the Confederate flag.

DON’T FEAR THE REACTION OF HATERS; WHETHER WITHIN OR OUTSIDE OF YOUR RACE

I say to all southern born African Americans: don’t be afraid.

Start displaying a modified version of the Confederate flag.

Drive around with this modified version of the flag, prominently flying on your vehicles, wear T-shirts with the rebel flag prominently displayed 🙂

Show the world that the Southern States of the United States of America will indeed change for the better.

Many people today are not aware that during battles in the 19th century; one of the goal was to capture the enemy’s flag .

Once their flag was taken, it demoralised the enemy.

On many occasions they turned around and ran from the battlefield.

I am asking all Southern born African Americans to take the flag and redesign it into a flag that represents ALL Southerners .

Here is a statement made by General George Thomas after the Civil War ended.

His statement was about how the South was trying to redefine the reasons why they were traitorous against the USA .

He was a Virginian by birth but choose to fight for the Union .

“ The greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty , justice , humanity , equality , and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed .

This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism , so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains;

A species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and property —justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and people— was not exacted from them.

— George Henry Thomas , November 1868.”

General Thomas in essence said that they should have suffered more for their traitorous rebellion against the USA.

In stead they had been treated kindly by the victorious North; so now they are trying to portray themselves as patriots who were fighting for noble reasons.

Then Hollywood began making movies in the early 20th century (Birth of a Nation) that glorified the people of the Confederacy as heroes and not as traitors.

Here is an additional history of the Civil War , that many people are not aware of: the wife of the Confederate President , Jefferson Davis was a Mulatto .

She was of African descent.

African Americans must understand, that it was their ancestors who really freed their people from slavery. The aggressive fighting ability of African Americans soldiers on many battlefields during the war; is one of the primary reasons why the Northern states were victorious over the Confederate states; and slavery came to an end. Biographers Nicolay and Hay wrote that: President Lincoln took many opportunities to remind Northerners of the debt they owed to African American soldiers.” And according to an historical researcher name Jerry Young : “Abraham Lincoln said that without these men we could have very easily lost the war .” See the article below:

FALSE IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST, IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF RACISM.



Racism is mainly visible in countries with a large population of Caucasian Christians.

They are more racist than they are religious.

These beliefs came from his local surroundings as well as the wider society and would have a major effect on his entire life.

Within the pages of this book, not only do we see these effects, but we see how he was able to move beyond the messages that were so deeply ingrained from childhood.

This is an eye-opening story of cultural practices and family beliefs that others may keep hidden.
