WilshireTennessee GOP votes to keep Confederate flags in classrooms but ban pride flags
foggyThe only Confederate flag that represents the Confederacy is 🏳️
Anything else trying to represent the confederacy is akin to a fucking high school class ring. Like “Gratz, bud. Got anything to show for it?”

It’s actually even cooler than that. americanhistory.si.edu/collections/nmah_515980
If by cooler you mean “belongs in the kitchen”
(I only say this to emasculated those that would feel emasculated by that).
It does look like a fucking tea towel.
harmsyThat’s literally what it is.
Also a dishrag that belongs in a kitchen:
28th Virginia Battle Flag
But… they’re showing you the class ring. That’s what they got to show for it.
(This was entirely meant as a joke.)
Woah dude what year was that?
The union jack that you see flown (just a union jack) isn’t even the flag of the confederacy, it’s specifically the flag for the army and navy of the confederacy. You are identifying yourself as enemy combatants with that flag.
The real flag of the confederacy changed a couple times. The first iteration looks like a knock-off of the US flag with 3 stripes and 7 stars in a blue field in the upper left. The second iteration had the union jack in the upper left hand side (where the US blue field and stare are) and the rest was white. Eventually they realized that it looked like a flag of surrender, so 36 days before the end of the war, the confederacy added a vertical red stripe on the far right side of the flag.
If their “heritage” was so important, you’d think they’d at least get it right!
