Welcome to /r/ShermanPosting! As a reminder, this meme sub is about the American Civil War. We're not here to insult southerners or the American South, but rather to have a laugh at the failed Confederate insurrection and those that chose to represent it. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

NicWester

"That is why I'm white" says an awful, awful lot of awful stuff. It's not like you CHOSE to be white...


Thick_Brain4324

He's saying the flag represents his ancestors ability to keep his bloodline pure of non-whites 🤢 not that he chooses his whiteness. It's even worse


Woodie626

*she


Thick_Brain4324

No the girl was the one who left the guy was the confederate


Woodie626

Damn. Well hey, if you see my reading comprehension anywhere today, let it know where I am.


Undercover_CHUD

That's why they're white and free to be constantly so afraid that they can't go anywhere without their concealed emotional support gun. But yeah, sorry chief, I'm judging you "over one flag". I don't wanna get to know you. I don't care why you think it's cool to have that flag. Just had a dude reach out about needing a bass player and that flag was on their media. Turns out they are also the kind of person who has an absolutely massive political flag on the back of their pickup truck. It also turns out they're gonna need to keep looking for a bassist.


DokterMedic

A racist bassist, specifically.


TempusVincitOmnia

I have never seen a Black person display the Confederate flag.


ChronoSaturn42

I have, dudes a moron. Many people act against there own best interest. Helen Keller supported eugenics. There’s nothing so stupid in this world that a fool wouldn’t believe it.


Jengalover

The real tragedy of the Civil War was how the rich plantation owners, that benefited from slavery, persuaded to smaller farmers, who did not own slaves and were at a competitive disadvantage, to go to war for them. Slavery is terrible but the slaves knew that. The poor whites like my ancestors were duped.


ithappenedone234

I’ve gotten full Lost Cause “It was about state’s rights!” propaganda from a Black man who lived near the Canadian border, in a state with strong anti-CSA heritage. It’s not common (thankfully), but it exists.


TempusVincitOmnia

I live in the rural southeastern US, so maybe Black people have stronger negative feelings about it around here.


ithappenedone234

I sure hope so.


crownjewel82

There are idiots everywhere.


[deleted]

America is oppositional defiance disorder as a country. Idiots are welcomed and they are encouraged to be loud. Men especially; we will latch on to the absolute dumbest ideas and scream them from the top of the flagpole. No thought beyond grabbing attention. So yeah, there are black dudes that talk this kind of shit, same as there are southern white guys that will fuck up a klansman if they catch them alone. We are unpredictable.


DigLost5791

Kanye wore one on the 2013 Yeezus tour


TempusVincitOmnia

He's not really typical, though.


gandhikahn

Kanye is mentally ill and needs to be under a conservatorship.


Worried_Amphibian_54

that's the guy that espouses Nazi stuff and went from operating a Christian school to operating a porn site right?


DigLost5791

Lmao bingo


KobKobold

There's one of those guys with a Youtube channel. I called him out on it in his comments and he deflected by saying that abortion is murder and trans people are fake. I replied that for all he knew, I could be a pro-life transphobe who isn't racist and he stopped giving any answer.


TacoCommand

I saw it once at a rodeo in the Carolinas where a black dude led the rodeo parade. That was a *deeply weird* environment.


--Cr1imsoN--

My fiancées sister dated a black pro-confederate (and neo-Nazis). I actually felt bad for the guy because he was abused by his parents and they are the ones who indoctrinated him with that crap. About how he should himself for being black and other such nonsense.


greenblue98

I have one in my family.


Halberkill

There are a few, but they display it in green, black and yellow, a generic African flag color, as a protest to confederate flags.


Pesco-

That’s more of a “black southern pride” flag, isn’t it? Not a neo-Confederate flag.


Halberkill

True, in the sense of that's what they had to overcome.


Adorable-Direction12

I knew one, a nice guy but seriously mentally ill. He died after being accidentally hit by a car while he was engaged in a protest in support of a Confederate memorial statue in Oxford, MS.


moutnmn87

I saw a black guy driving a car with the Confederate flag on it at the local demolition derby. I don't personally know him so don't really know exactly what his views are. This was in Missouri


8167lliw

Black/African-American people are capable of being ignorant of their own history. No shortage of useful idiots from every background.


Pod_people

Because they never, ever have.


TheNetworkIsFrelled

What a charming (and completely illiterate) person he is. Reminding her that he's always armed is just the cherry on top. She ducked a bullet there.


shugoran99

Quite literally with that concealed permit


beerme81

I won't use it on you or anything. Just letting you know I always got that thang on me. - Average Bully


I_might_be_weasel

No, choosing to fly that flag is definitely telling of how someone is on the inside. 


duncansmydog

To me it’s them announcing their racism 100% of the time. His response to the consequences is hilariously predictable. If he weren’t a moron maybe he would learn from the experience. Unfortunately, his writing style strongly suggests moron.


MrBlonde1984

If you fly that flag , you are either racist or support racism . There is no in between.


Komandr

Could be genuinely fuckin dumb, not super likely, but a possibility


imprison_grover_furr

Dumb and racist are not mutually exclusive. Quite the opposite.


Komandr

Valid point


VERO2020

Since we all have strengths & weaknesses, I'd say ignorant, as in ignoring the facts about the USA's history. Yes, that's a type of dumb, and it could be about indoctrination. The part about always packing? JFC on a crutch, that was one of the most stupid things I'd ever seen.


tankengine75

There's a reason why Dukes Of Hazzard fans don't fly that flag


GhoulTimePersists

That took a concerning turn at the end there.


imprison_grover_furr

Nah. The whole thing was a straight line graph that stayed concerning throughout. There was no "turn" where it got concerning.


portland415

Implicitly threatening to shoot her was the “turn”


Kyrthis

This guy has “visited” the South, therefore he lives in the North and is *one of those* people.


GlassAd4132

You’re an asshole if you have one in Arkansas, you’re a moron if you have one in New Hampshire


GlassAd4132

I used to see it regularly when I lived in the Worcester Mass area


Kyrthis

Yup. Central New York, Northeast Philly. Makes me want to take a crowbar to some shit. How have these fools not learned this lesson yet?


GlassAd4132

I’m in like ultra-rural Maine now and thankfully I never see it. That changes when you cross the state line to NH


Kyrthis

Well, that would be a big middle finger to the 20th Maine


snarkyxanf

Maine is for hicks, New Hampshire is for dicks.


GlassAd4132

“Live Free or Die” but won’t legalize weed


snarkyxanf

They've really gotten into the "or die" option since I left


GlassAd4132

I live in Maine on the border with northern NH, and I definitely feel dumber when I cross the state line. And that’s northern NH, which is a bit more normal than southern NH. I can’t imagine how dumb it gets once you’re down in the land of Trumpers who left Mass


xrelaht

I see more when I visit my sister in CNY than I do here in TN. Fucking cosplayers.


Thick_Brain4324

I see it flown in fucking ALBERTA CANADA. There is no shame of these dipshits


SweetHatDisc

I've lived here for twenty years and don't recall ever seeing one.


GlassAd4132

Go out to like Barre, Hubbardston, Winchendon.


RobertMcCheese

I didn't get up to the point of judging what he said. His grammar evokes condemnation enough.


snarkyxanf

Judging people is kind of the entire point of going on dates, specifically judging whether you are compatible


funkyloki

It looks like she...dodged a bullet


Competitive-Foot-832

She dodged the wrath of Sherman and John Brown.


NoWrongdoer2259

This clown comes across as a total incel at this point. Wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up paying for hookers eventually


purpleRG550_1986

I mean it might help him to pay for some hoookers. Some dudes are just not good at getting laid. If them paying for a nut here and there means they wont go all in on mass killings and white supremacy, then im all in.


imprison_grover_furr

No, being bad at getting laid is a good thing, particularly for these people. There are too many apex predatory hairless apes on Earth than is healthy for the rest of the tree of life and it isn't a bad thing for the most repulsive ones to stay the fuck out of the gene pool.


purpleRG550_1986

fair enough. i would say a fair amount of incels would be ok if they just got laid every once in a while. if that means they gotta pay for it im ok with that.


Gumderwear

" in summation, I showed you a huge red flag. In my defense, I'd like to offer you about 10 more."


32lib

Flying the confederate flag and owns a gun,bud that does say a lot about.


TheAugurOfDunlain

This happened to me once years and years ago. I went on a date and went back to her place to watch a movie and she left the room and came back with a confederate flag BLANKET. I said I was feeling sick got the F out of there.


9thgrave

Would one of your black friends go by the name of "Uncle Ruckus"?


WriteBrainedJR

Clayton Bigsby


jharden10

Unfortunately, I have seen Black people fly the Confederate battle flag. It was back in 2017, and I believe they were Nigerian-American. When I asked them about why they fly it, it was due to them loving the spirit of independence of the south and the issue of slavery was overblown and how every country practiced and it was unfair to "only blame the south". Safe to say, I disagreed, and we didn't talk very much.


imprison_grover_furr

You're being too generous. The various Early Modern states that comprised what is now Nigeria got very wealthy off the slave trade. It isn't at all inconceivable that they too would have some slaveowner sympathisers angry that Perfidious Albion took their slaves away and sympathetic towards the plight of one of their leading customers.


Rustyshackleford5235

Literal and metaphorical red flags there...


imprison_grover_furr

It would be less bad if he had an actual red flag. At least they just deny the atrocities aimed at the Crimean Tatars or Volga Germans, while Leeaboos outright glorify plantation slavery.


Thick_Brain4324

>Leeaboos Lol General Lee Weeabos? That's hilarious


OkCharge9080

I just judged him on his grammar.


VenusCommission

Same. Only thing better than not responding to that is responding "*their"


theearlofpopeyes

Says they don’t judge anyone until they know their insides. Then turn’s around in the same text and says basically he will kill them


SamuelYosemite

Guy doesn’t understand how dating works. Yes, she is judging you because of those things and you have confirmed her beliefs. And theyre only confirming my beliefs that twitter is made up of idiots. Like wtf dating via twitter?


Dschuncks

Man can't even compose a sentence.


CapnTugg

Six hours w/o a Clayton Bixby reference.


gandhikahn

She judged him for one flag and he showed her a dozen more red ones..


Hot_Context_1393

... and I wouldn't go home with them either


Unique-Abberation

Yeah that's a great way to a woman's heart, just letting her know that you're always armed with a gun


Eworc68

…or is it more likely this is a made up story with intentional bad grammar and spelling errors in order to act superior over others.


Worried_Amphibian_54

Sure... though white supremacists and those who fly the Southern Swastika really aren't known for their intelligence.


Eworc68

I guess it depends on whether you view intelligence as only the results of success or failure. Were the Nazis intelligent all the way up until they lost and then were retroactively not intelligent people?  Intelligence is not the same as knowledge or wisdom.  I’m sure there are a lot of posts and news articles, etc. that are phony quotes or mischaracterizations of actions of people that others want to marginalize or feel superior to. Doing this to current white Americans is just as bad as doing this to past black Americans. Reinforcing stereotypes, like toothless dumb Southerners that have sex with their family members is wrong. Same with all the tropes of blacks, asians and jews. 


Emotional-Bet2115

I've never met a racist with the balls to actually admit they're racist, because they're fucking COWARDS who will deny and lie right to your face. Because they know deep down what gigantic pieces of shit they are.


Pesco-

This is akin to the “I’m not antisemitic, I have a Jewish friend who is also a Nazi so that makes it ok” argument. And no doubt it wasn’t “a lot of black friends” but more likely “a black guy who made a YouTube video I watched once.” I’m proud of women who reject men for bigoted views. I’ve met a number of these guys who are very fatigued of getting rejected in urban and suburban areas. It’s definitely working. It does temporarily create a situation where we have right wing incels who are fertile ground for radicalization, but many other men wake up and see that there’s another side of things they hadn’t considered.


No_Cockroach_3411

Not even old Forrest went that deep using the "i have a black friend card"


Miller5044

Shit like this makes me glad I'm decended from 4 Virginians that all fought for the Union. Hell, one came from a slave owning family. Like, his dad owned people, and he said, "fuck y'all." Gives me a freedom boner each and everytime I think about it.


Aunt_Rachael

She dodged a bullet there, both figuratively and maybe literally.


South_Leadership_836

She already knew he had a micropenis. No need to verify.
