Comments on: Am I The Crazy One Here? https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/am-i-the-crazy-one-here/ Humor blogger D.J. Paris writes about the most interesting subject in the world - himself. It's worth a look if you're cool. And you are! Sun, 16 Feb 2014 14:42:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: WhenCrazyMeetsExhaustion https://thoughtsfromparis.com/thoughts/am-i-the-crazy-one-here/#comment-26400 Sun, 16 Feb 2014 14:42:16 +0000 https://thoughtsfromparis.com/?p=3503#comment-26400 So I worked in an inner city school and one little white chick insisted she wear her confederate flag t-shirt, like, once a week. A teacher finally pulled her aside, explained the “implications” of the shirt, and she vehemently disagreed that she was in the wrong. Her parents came in and oozed racist comments and finally, in a moment I remember as great but he remembers as a weakness, our Black Assistant Principal suggested the family move back down south where the shirt would be appreciated.

Oh and for once? You ain’t cray 😉

It’s like sexual harassment. It doesn’t matter what you intended by the comment or the gesture, all that matters is how the person took it.The confederate flag is a clear symbol of ignorance and racism. People who fly it need to find a new symbol of “the South”. I make no apologies.As an anecdote, I was living in this townhouse complex a few years back … came out my door and saw a swastika crudely painted on the door of the place across from mine. Now, I have Jewish heritage and I had an almost visceral response. I came this || close to knocking on their door to see if everyone was okay, I almost cleaned it off on my own … it was a major shock to my system that this would happen in the world, or more specifically in my world.It turned out that the family was a Hindu family and that the Swastika was a celebratory symbol to them for some holiday. It’s supposed to be good luck to paint it on your door. They never removed it. So every time I left through the front door I had to see a swastika on the door in front of mine. It may mean prosperity and fluffy bunnies for someone else, but it had a far different effect on me.  The argument given to me when I was feeling appalled by it was the same basic argument you got on the flag. It has stood for other things far longer than it stood for Nazi Germany and the attempted extermination of my people … so I should get over it.So simply put, I’m with you on this one. People do things that change the effect of symbols and there’s nothing you can do about that. Change your symbol or at very least respect the people affected by it not to air it publicly.

I think it’s very inappropriate, and smacks of racism, but I’ve become fairly immune to being offended by the stupidity of others. If anything I’m just embarrassed for them.  For the record, I do think you’re a little crazy, but not because of this, and no more than I.

tfpHumorBlog Not sure if the first reply went through but anyway I like Nubian sister…not Nubian brother so much LOL! I have never heard the term used in reference to the male species but that could me.

bryan4u  Well, my point is – it doesn’t matter what it represents to the south. It represents pretty awful shit to black people. So, just out of respect, why not take it down? People from down there hanging on to the belief that the south is different is  narcissistic  and strange. We’re all just one country.

lateesha30  Totally. It’s good that people fly it on their homes because you know who to not hang out with – but in the govt building is probably not the best message to send to our nubian sisters and brothers. Wait, is nubian brothers correct? I think I’m using it wrong.

Katjaneway  I wrote about state flags above – just get rid of ’em. Nobody cares about  Mississippi’s  state flag with a beaver on it. Flags are dumb. We have one – let’s move on.

kathym425  Yeah- that’s the point. Forget about what the flag stands for. If it offends, say 75% of the country, let’s just respect that and take it down. Seems logical and respectful.
