Today, my girlfriend saw my room for the first time and started yelling at me, calling me racist, white trash for having a Confederate flag hanging on my wall. It's a British flag. FML

This happened actually two weeks or so ago I don't visit this site much so I didn't have a account previously. But today I visited it and decided to post this sense that was a FML moment I had with her and thought it would be funny to share. I did explain to her what it really was but argued with me for about 10 minutes that it was really a Confederate flag until I had to go on the internet and show her that it was really a British flag. I ended it with this girl for...various reasons.

The confederate flag isn't racist itself, maybe the people holding it back then, but the flag has no racist meaning to it. People just associate those two together.

I fail to see why #59 was down voted. For those of who are narrow minded the Confederate flag is a symbol of southern heritage

If no one has noticed, the confederate flag has thirteen stars to represent the original thirteen colonies when each colony ran itself. Before the north pushed for unity. Sorry for the history lesson guys.

I'm glad you ended it with her. I would be seriously offended if this happened to me with a significant other.

If she's that stupid, and wants to behave like a child when you proved her wrong, then she definitely wasn't worth it. I applaud you for ending it with her.

I know black southerners that have confederate flags. So it's not a race thing.

85 - Um, no that's the English flag. The Union Jack is England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Not wales because they draw a freaking dragon.

The United kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each country has their own flag, England has the St George's Cross, which has a white background and a red cross. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, can be shortened to either Great Britain, United Kingdom or UK. The flag for Great Britain is called the Union Jack or Union Flag and has a blue background and white and red crosses on it. Now do you understand?
