BAD ASS

“#rebel flag”

No, fuck you, tag this “racism,” “murder,” “KKK,” “white supremacy.” Oh wait, I’ll do it for you. This is a LOT of shit, but one thing it isn’t is “bad ass,” and it’s certainly not a representation of “justice.”

And before you pull the “I’m honoring my heritage” bullshit - it is NOT OKAY to honor your heritage if you heritage is slavery, lynchings, oppression, murder, torture, and rape.

You better get a knife and CARVE that thing off your body, because it makes me want to puke.

Justice.

Justice?

REALLY?

How is it just to have enslaved people?

What is just about having beat them?

What is just about chasing them for trying to escape, and maiming them to punish them from trying to do it again?

What is just about the fact that you tried to SECEDE FROM THE COUNTRY rather than give up your slaves?

What is just about the fact that that LYNCHING NOOSE you have next to your “proud rebel flag” was used to hang people of color unjustly?

What about your heritage is there to be proud of in light of all that?  The justice would be for every confederate flag to be burned and never displayed again.

I think this is honestly one of the worst tattoos I have ever seen. The confederate flag does have its place — in history museums. Outside of history museums, no.

Also, “Southern Justice” plus a fucking NOOSE? Can we stop and think about that one for, oh, HALF A FUCKING SECOND. Oh my God, why are you glorifying the greatest act of treason in America? Why are you glorifying the HORRIBLE MURDERS of POC?
