Civil War Losers Remind Drivers They Lost Civil War

RICHMOND, Va. — A group named the Virginia Flaggers have reignited the debate over the use of the Confederate flag after announcing their intention to raise the flag next to Interstate 95 just outside of Richmond, Virginia, to ensure that no one ever forgets that there was a civil war, and that the Confederacy lost.

“We just wanted to make sure that everyone remembered there was a Confederacy, and that they lost,” said Richmond Flagger Clarence Higgins. “Some of my family fought and died in that war, and it’s important to remember they were fighting to keep slavery legal. We should never be allowed to forget our ancestral shame.”

According to the Virginia Flaggers, “The flag will serve to welcome visitors and commuters to Richmond, and remind them of our honorable Confederate history and heritage.” As The Daily Beast notes, this heritage includes Confederate vice president Alexander Stephens proclaiming that “Our new government is founded upon… the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.”

Fellow Flagger Michael Malone of Newport News, Virginia, is in favor of the flags “so we never forget that we totally lost that war,” he said, adding, “the people of Richmond, Virginia were serious racist dicks back in the day. I, for one, want to make sure everyone who drives past this flag takes a moment to think about how messed up it is that they thought human beings could be judged by the color of their skin. And to thank God that nothing like that could ever happen again.”

    This article is by far one of the most ignorant pieces of work regarding the subject of Confederate and American Civil War History. The Mr. Higgins and Mr. Malone characters are either totally ignorant of history or totally imaginary in the redundancy of the authors mind to manufacture his rhetoric… No one was fighting to keep slavery legal which was absolutely already Constitutionally legal in the United States, and actually still is today, just not privately. Read the 13th Amendment and note the government reserves the right and exception to enslave prisoners. Now that seems fair because as we know all prisoners are guilty according to the government, well except for thousands who have been ramrodded through our criminal justice system for crimes they actually didn’t commit under false accusation. Certainly our government would never imprison anyone that was innocent, or spoke up in defending freedoms we have. I mean its not like a government to imprison people just because they fear people is it? Never mind the point that Lincoln’s government legally preserved slavery constitutionally to entitle the powers that be with the right to enslave humanity at it’s whim, seems rather hypocritical. I wonder what the picture of ethnic diversity is within our prisons? Funny isn’t it how some things people are willing to accept to be dominated by from a central government lost in the shuffle for a delusion of freedom and self-righteous patriotic zealotry. Meanwhile thank goodness we have the freedom to honor all American heroes, who sacrificed all defending the constitutionality of States Rights, to inspire citizens to do so still.

    It’s just a ruse. It’s a way of hanging the flag, boldly, I might add, trying to “fool” the “negro” and the “negro lovers” and thinking that we actually buy into their reasons for putting it up!

    I believe this piece is little more than satire.

    Cyp Stephenson is a Londoner living in New York. He writes sketch at UCB and with his sketch team (Surfcat!), and one day wants to swim with dolphins in their natural Sea World habitat. He dislikes the phrase “for my sins,” meta jokes, and writing in the third person. He can be occasionally found tweeting at @cypstephenson. – See more at: https://politicot.com/author/cyp-stephenson/#sthash.UnNAFN8I.dpuf
