Quote:The difference between the stars and stripes and the stars and bars is that the horrors committed under the stars and stripes weren't the Raison D'etre for the United States, while (no matter how much you try to argue otherwise) protecting the institution of slavery was the Raison D'etre for the Confederacy.


It's like saying "Yeah, Mussolini was a fascist dictator, but my grandfather was a train engineer, and boy did the trains run on time. So I'm proud of my heritage."


What we did to the native Americans alone is just as bad if not worse then anything the confederacy did under the banner of slavery. Condemning one and excusing the other is pure hypocrisy, which is my point.
