(38,206 posts)People just want government property in some stubborn states to stop having quite so much Confederate memorabilia. It's like a damn shrine to the Confederacy in some areas. It's one thing on private property, where some of us find it disgusting, but because of the 1st Amendment cannot do anything about it (except I let all of the bushes and stuff grow around my property so I won't have to see them every-fucking-where around me, damn neighborhood is cluttered with them). On state grounds, there is no reason for so many states to enshrine the Confederacy quite so damn much. History is one thing, but if you see how it is in the Carolinas and some other areas, it is overwhelmingly Confederate. It's not even like America. It's like the Confederacy never even fucking stopped. It's like a deranged nightmare that won't end, for some of us.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if I never saw that fucking flag again. I know I don't have that luxury, though, and never will. If I had a half a penny for every time some jerk in my hometown said the Civil War wasn't about slavery, I'd be a damn billionaire. There ain't a damn thing I can do about them except despise their bullshit lies and put up with it. I hate it, but poverty keeps it so that's the story of my shit life. fml, but that's beside the point.
The least we can do is get so much Confederate crap off state property. It has been so overwhelming just how much of that crap clutters state monuments down here that you would barely know you are even in America. Until you have experienced it, it is hard to understand. For some, it is what they love to wallow in, like pigs in filth. For the rest of us, it is a nightmare that never ends.
