What I find ironic is that I have at least 2 male ancestors who were Confederate Officers during the War...

Unfortunately, my greatgrandmother who looked like J-Lo when she was young, was too dark to pass...

Please hand over the flag.
If you do not understand or are unable to understand, you now have a long project ahead of you.
You are "Branded" and dismissed.
NOW!

I am a dis-honor huh? Wow, I dont know how i will continue to live b/c an SAE from Washington has insulted me, oh lord, what am I to do? By the way, My family came from England in the early 1700's. I am 100% WASP. And yes we did have a plantation, but we dont look to highly on that about our history. We are proud that when our rights were threatned of our existence and how we lived and how we functioned as a society, we fought back. Yes we lost, there is no way in hell we could have won, but we fought for what we believed in. Lay off, relax, our beloved south will never be again, we all know this. So why dont you just chill out and understand that there are other people who know whats right and you dont. I respect your wrong opinion.

Ok guys, we cant screw with yall anymore. If anyone has taken us seriously, you guys are stupid. My brothers and I thought it would be funny to see how mad people get over the internet. Get a life, you guys took us waaayyyy too seriously.

Get a Life. If you couldnt tell we were kidding, you are beyond retarded.

Clearly you need more things to do with your life.

You realy believe everything you read ( in here)?
I have traveled a great deal-I will leave it at that.
Besides, you seem to have poor understanding of Greek History as well as US History.
But since you just stated as a fact(?) that your family has been here since 1700's-
what I said about DNA is very true-even if it does not hold true to you

Some times trolls do not understand when they are the ones being gotten

There were many Black Confederate soldiers, even officers. Most current blacks tend to forget this.

Elephant Walk;
I support you. This issue just became "main-stream" over the past few years. Civil War News had several articals and Letters to Ed past few months. Prior to that, I have seen Blacks in Civil War Re-enactments wearing Gray.

Just to further round out this history class: Women fought on both sides, Indians fought on both sides as well as against both sides-the war in the West while smaller in scope was just as bad. In fact there was an Indian Confederate General.

Indeed but maybe she assumed that you should assume her ancestors were black. That wouldn't have been a safe assumption but who knows what she assumed that you should assume.

But you're preaching to the choir because "most" current blacks don't forget that fact. The context of their soldier status is well remembered as inequality under the Confederacy, which is why being a "proud" Confederate soldier and waving the Confederate flag is baffling to many blacks.

The "topic at hand" is a nontopic so this thread should evolve into something more informative and/or entertaining.

Possibly in the eye of the beholder?

Many seem to want to gloss over the actual facts and use them as they see fit.

History is History and will always be History no matter how some want to rewrite it.
