I think we know who was superior in that story. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

So many examples of white southern men helping vulnerable people of all sorts without regard to race, religion, creed. It just frustrates some to no end, an angry response to confusion on their part. |

l guess we can assume the purpose is to incite haters to tear it down. |

1. If you've seen the picture it's painted on the side of his airboat rudders. 2. Why fly it? Who gives a flying fvck? Get in the boat or drown, it's pretty simple, isn't it? |

You dumb, ignorant, unappreciative person. For God's sake, keep yourself in California. You deserve it and it deserves you. Meanwhile, let me stand up and applaud a man who will take his equipment, his time, his fuel and his money to try to help other people who desperately need his help. I don't care if his entire boat is painted in the Confederate flag and he has a loudspeaker blaring Dixie as he boats through the floodwaters. He's a good man doing what he can to help. And it's people like you and the original idiot who said she wouldn't get in the boat, that need some serious introspection to figure out how you've gotten to the sorry state that you are in. |

As you wish. I'd wait for a boat with less baggage. The guy came to stir up **** and he can take his business elsewhere. Otoh I'd have evacuated early so there is that. Science and stuff. |

So they guy with the flag - is he picking up black people? I'm thinking no. That's what the flag is all about. No? Educate me. Edited by Steve Miller, Aug 28 2017, 07:45 PM.

HOLY CARP!!!

My own assumption is that his boat happened to have had that flag on it, and he happened to use it to try to help people. I would be astonished if he refused to pick up black people. |

No, that's what YOU think the flag is all about. Maybe he doesn't. Most folks that I know that fly one, do so for different purposes. So, why do you hate people from the South? |

Don't hate. But have a really hard time trying to understand. Very very different than what I believe. Perhaps you'll set me straight. |

In the nearest town to me, there is a statue of a generic Confederate soldier. It stands on Martin Luther King Boulevard. Big whoop. In my lifetime, I've never heard anybody talk about taking the statue down or renaming the street. For all the talk about the racist South, I've seen as much or more racism anywhere I've traveled in the states. We're not perfect, but we aren't the monsters portrayed in the media. |

I have traveled throughout the country and my perception has always been that black and white folks are a lot easier with each other in the south than the north. The place that had the most open racists was southern California. That may have changed with new generations, but the white folks I knew out there didn't like ANYBODY but white Europeans. Jews, Latinos, Asians, blacks, you name it. Steve, your perceptions of the south and southerners is so wrong. They become a form of that SoCal prejudice. You really need to reexamine them. |

About the only comment to demonstrate common sense and clear-eyed reasoning is this of Davis: "So many examples of white southern men helping vulnerable people of all sorts without regard to race, religion, creed. It just frustrates some to no end, an angry response to confusion on their part." |

+1 This is just people helping other people. In the midst of a disaster, those affected most directly quickly find they have more important concerns than politics. We could all take a lesson from that. |
