Comments on: And this promotes Confederate heritage? https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=3276 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Dennis https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=3276&cpage=1#comment-45913 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 12:07:05 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=3276#comment-45913 Please don’t misunderstand. This whole redneck, flag BS isn’t just a southern thing. Idiots who abuse history for whatever reason are everywhere.

Like I said above, another renewable resource. It is as easy to find them in my native Pennsylvania as in the deep south, northwest or wherever.

Regards,
Dennis

I’m sure some of the folk who wear these shabby, trailer-park varieties of the stars and bars are completely unaware of that background to the term they hold so dear.

It was meant as something good. It meant hard-working people in 1800s and in the 1930s it refered to a a group of unionized mine workers trying to force mine owners to let their workers join the union. It’s only been a deragatory term since the later half of the 1900s.

Or those awful, skin-tight tank tops with the Confederate flag over a hunting camo background with something like “Sassy Southern Girl” printed in pink with a scattering of rhinestones for good measure!!!! Sorry…had to vent.

2. I would love to know how “redneck” gained ascendancy over “proud descendants of Cavaliers and Huguenots.” I’m sure my Confederate g-g-g grandfathers would rather be associated with the latter, instead of a term roughly related to “sand-hiller” or “clay-eater.”

I don’t have any known ancestors that fought in the Civil War but I understand your feelings. I was born and brought up in New England but now live in TN. I see right ways and wrong ways of displaying both flags. I’ve seen both the American Flag and the Confederate Battle Flag flying side by side. The stuff shown here is wrong, just plain ole wrong. Besides, the southern states don’t hold the patent on Rednecks, I’ve seen plenty of Yankee Rednecks, too. People at work have even commented about it when they’ve seen things in the news.

I am for flying it anywhere anybody wants to fly it.”

He was very clear in defense of it… Saying that, just as with the American flag there is a proper way to display it and respect it. These examples shown here I dispise and wish didn’t exist, but I also have seen someone with an American flag with someones face on it, which I find very distasteful. I chose to use the good ole, I wont buy that crap philosophy and I honor my ancestors. Besides how do WE as descendants get to chose how the image of that flag is used? We don’t. If I see it used inappropriately I will say something but I can’t stop the manufacturing, distributing or selling of such products.

I buy that… And those who cravenly use this honored flag as a symbol of hatred should be exposed for the racist, redneck bigots they are..

Many of them brought these exact signs (the CSA Blvd ones) and stuck them in the windows of their hotel room. When a few guests complained, the hotel kindly asked them to take the signs down out of the windows. They all screamed reverse-racism and threw a fit. In protest, they proceeded to park all of their vehicles facing out from the hotel building toward the street w/ the signs on the windshield. The logic was that the hotel could not tell them what to put on their own cars. That was their way of defending “Confederate Heritage.” I was actually embarrassed for them.

(Think “product placement” in marketing.)
