This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff
United States
Get out
Today, I met my new roommate. I hadn't even gotten her name yet, because the first thing she said to me instead was that she wanted to hang her confederate flag on the wall. I'm black. FML

It shouldn't, but it does, and too many effing people ignore that. The n word in the dictionary originally had a completely different meaning, but guess what? Now it means something else. People who hang and fly the confederate flag know exactly what it says. As far as the people who claim they fly it for "Southern pride" or their loss in the Civil War or whatever, they need to get over being all butthurt over losing a war that happened *150* years ago (and yes, the whole slavery part of it was a HUGE deal to them) and realize we are one nation, the UNITED States of America. All this whole Southern pride and cecession crap is BS and nonsense.

Would she like to walk around the house in her KKK robes too?

Look up the meaning of the confederate flag. It's not about racism.

Thank You 41. number 2 I'm sure she wont notice because shell be to busy raising 5 kids with different daddies. loving your home isn't racist. the girl never owned slaves. Slavery has been gone for a long time. Let me guess you hate Africa and black people to since they were the first ones to sell other blacks in to slavery

Tell her she can do that, if you can have your Black Panther meetings in the common areas every Friday.

Look at the brightside, she's only a racist not a mass murdered. I guess. ?

The confederate flag has nothing to do with racism, slavery didn't either actually.

It is impossible to make the argument that the Civil War had *nothing* to do with racism. Even if you're arguing that the war was due to states' rights and oppressive economic policy, what economic factors do you think the Confederate states were fighting for?

I love Tupac, but I'm not understanding what he has to do with race rights.

Bring over all your black friends, blast socially conscious rap and hang posters with quotes by MLK, Malcolm X and etc. you could attempt at educating her but honestly most of them won't listen.

I don't know if it's possible, but she might not even know what it means and just thought the flag looked cool.
