The end game is to fix all the outdated policies and laws that aren't representative of freedom, equality, and the rights granted to people in the US Constitution.

And thus the contradiction.

How can you possibly just "update" something to the point that it violates what it was written upon?


And before it becomes just an "America" argument...

Confederate flags aren't being banned except in government institutions. Being gay makes you oppressed, and standing up to the adversity of being oppressed does make you brave. Not coexisting with oppression, but fighting against it and for yourself, makes you brave.

WRONG. Items featuring confederate flags are being banned or censored on ebay. The Dukes of Hazard was pulled from rotation and NASCAR is already asking fans to not fly the flags at events as well as offering trade-ins for American flags at events. Teams with "Rebels" logos are being edited, most notably the Ole Miss Rebels becoming Black Bears now and removing the Rebel Colonel mascot. This is just to name a few, but clearly this is a movement with some force behind it, right?

If you're implying that white, straight, Christian folks are going to be oppressed against you're out of your goddamn mind.

We're moving towards tolerance not a new majority.

If you don't think this has already begun, YOU'RE out of your goddamn mind, bro. How about a guesstimate? if you did a poll right now, how much of America do you think would actually consider there to be more corrupt cops than actual criminals out there? One man's "tolerance" eventually ends up as another man's oppression. History repeats itself, there's no escaping that fact.

OK

Personally I don't know enough about history to talk about much of anything in the past outside of broad generalization or what I research on the spot

I don't think former political stances of a Party are really relevant once the people that actively hold those positions retire

It's easy to find actual documental evidence of these things, you can bank on it tbh.

and that last sentence of yours... if that were true, people wouldn't still be bitching about shit like slavery, confederate flags and holy wars.
