I guess i cant talk on someones culture and whatever flag they choose to wave but with my brother being super northern and then saying hes "southern" now just bugs me.

I like how that's supposed to be a serious post.

I think getting upset about flags is usually arbitrary. The rare instances I understand is the fact that for a lot of black people in the south that flag represents fear because most people that wave that flag will attack you. And that flag is used much more to represent white pride than southern pride.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
