| Craft #93298 1 year ago |
It's a bit of a misconception that the civil war was about slavery. It was more about states' rights and an industrialized vs agricultural economy.
Nowadays yeah, the flag has been used as a symbol of racism by many groups, but that doesn't mean that any use of the flag is automatically racist. The more you know. |

| Anonymous #93334 1 year ago |
however zgrillo the flag also symbolized a culture of dignity and honor. Slavery aside Southerners were respectable and dignified people with honor above all else. Most people who fought under that flag were fighting for their rights, the soldiers were mostly poor farmers sons who had their way of life threatened by the industrialism of the north.
You're conception that the flag is all about racism is racist itself. Or something like that. |

| Anonymous #93343 1 year ago |
If you ignore slavery the confederacy was actually pretty great because they didn't like industrialism.
If you ignore the holocaust Nazi Germany was actually pretty great because they made some really good beer. If you ignore 9/11 Al Quaida is actually pretty great because they are excellent at styling their beards. |
| Albatross #93346 1 year ago |
The confederate flag is a symbol of a failed country. Faggots who think it's cool to run around smashing racial groups while brandishing this flag as to WHY they do it, ruins the history of this once proud halfcountry. I live in Alabama, I know my history.
Oh, look, there are apples on the flag rather than stars. So technically, it isn't even the confederate flag. You're whining about nothing. |

HONEST QUESTION: Why is this such a big deal? All it is is some artwork depicting Applejack as a confederate.
Is she making a racist comment? No. Is she cutting down a black man? No. Is she doing something otherwise evil? No. I suppose I would consider this different if it were a swastika, but even then I wouldn't feel strongly about it at all. In fact such would be humorous to an extent (such as Photo Finish being dolled up like Hitler). Obviously, that wouldn't be the case if said art were depicting Photo Finish as leading Jews into a gas chamber, but I digress. tl;dr How on earth can this be considered so offensive in spite of the fact that Applejack isn't actually doing anything even remotely racist? |
| zgrillo2004 #93407 1 year ago |
Because the flag represented in one time slavery and its considered racist towards black. on the side note I have PMed Eco about this and the other one. I hope you get banned Edef |

@ Craft:
No, the Civil War was about Slavery. This is made clear in the Various states' articles of secession, which can of course be viewed online. Anyone who doubts this, don't take an anon's word for it, look for yourself. In fact the Southern Cause was at it's heart Anti-States rights. Specifically, the rights of non slave states to not recognize a slave as being property. The whole "the Confederate cause was really states rights" is made up by Confederate apologists. |

The Apple Family used to be rich and powerful, with scores of apple plantations on the outskirts of Ponyville. They didn't pick the apples, the Zebras did. Then, the city unicorns from Canterlot decided this was unfair, and attacked. Now the Apple family has to pick their own apples, and has to get by hawking products on the street at every available opportunity, just to afford medical procedures for their elderly. |

Lrn2history The Confederate Flag does NOT stand for Slavery. ok??
The only Person who made Slavery an Issue was Abraham Lincoln, was right after the Battle of Gettysburg, (Emancipation Proclamation a document that wasn't worth the Paper it was written on!), and he only made it an issue, to keep the British from actively supporting the South. By trying to run the Blockade that Lincoln placed there. Then more you know!! |
| Anonymous #95151 1 year ago |
...It's funny because AppleJack is a southern stereotype, despite the fact that Equestria lacks the historical context for the southern accent or rural culture.
It pokes fun at Faust for placing Human (and specifically American) conceptions of rural and farming life into a fantasy world where such development would be highly unlikely. That's the whole message. The arguments of racism or the context of the civil war are immaterial and irrelevant, and go way beyond the point being made by the picture. STFU and laugh. |

| Anonymous #95329 1 year ago |
I wasn't directly commenting on zgrillo or any other person in specific. I was just explaining the context behind the image, and the artist's intent. The humor value is derived from the nature of AppleJack's accent and cultural expression. Period. I doubt the artist even considered any racial or political overtones, beyond the idea that the Confederate flag is a cultural expression for many southerners.
That's it. Really. Nothing more to it. |

I have 4 autistic friends and my little 5 year old brother is autistic. While I can sympathize with your struggle, you ARE using it as an excuse to be an ass. I do not appreciate this as it offends not only me, but my family and friends. What I'd like you to do though, is study a bit in your history of the Civil War. I just got out of the subject in my American History class, and it's really entertaining. Bunch of movies on the subject, too. The moral of this WHOLE damn fiasco is Know what you are talking about before speaking. Not only will you save yourself trouble, but everyone else a little stress too. Now, onto a review of the actual image. Her jaw is off, but other than that, very good. |

To all those saying this is offensive?... Well thankfully its not the majority, it shows that the fandom is indeed majoritaly intellectual and know their history. Indeed the Stars N' Bars stands for a once proud and (partly) noble defeated cause. Sans slavery which I don't think even needs mentioning... if they had the equipment and recsources, and manpower of the north they would of easily defeated them. 2:3 kill death ratio on the side of the south. I'm 4 generation from J.E.B. Stuart. I know my history. We will rise again, in the name of liberty from this oppressive federalist government like the first. |

>"slavery doesn't need mentioning" >implying killing more people makes you better ಠ_ಠ Speaking as a NY-born liberal who recently moved to SC, and a man against most of the confederacy's policies, I don't think the confederate flag is offensive, per se. I do however think it's kind of dumb when people wear it proudly on their trucks and shirts and tattoos without knowing what it means. |
| Anonymous #474831 10 months ago |
Meh killing people is mere human nature. Nothing any of us can say would make any difference, but atleast we fellow sapiens can put aside slavery for good.
And I think most of the people that do wear it understand what it means. I for certain do. Now who wantsa sing a lil' Dixieland? |
