Alright, so I'm not sure how this message will go over. It obviously is meant to be sarcastic but in the tone of Steven Colbert. Regardless, the joke or spin may still be missed so I felt I better add this disclaimer. The views expressed in this post do not reflect the views of either myself or NWR. They are meant as my attempt at satire. Read at your own risk.
That Xbox 360 is beautiful. It celebrates both southern heritage, and gaming heritage. It says Dixie is better than the North, and real games are better than waggle fests.
P.S. The Rebel flag isn't racist. "But the confederacy wouldn't exist without slavery," you whine. Well guess what? Neither would the pyramids. Oh no the dollar bill has a pyramid on it I guess it's pro slavery!
I salute your courage, sir!
You bring up a good point. If slavery is so bad, shouldn't we destory every benefit we've received from slavery? After all, if it is wrong, then why should we keep profitting from the things that have resulted from using slavery? I bet people who think slavery is so bad will suddenly put up objections to tearing down the Pyramids or destroying all remnants of the Roman Empire (whose workforce was made up from slaves) and other such institutions.
What is wrong with slavery is tearing people away from their homes and families and subjecting them to awful work conditions with no pay and hard labor. That's what was wrong with slavery. Fortunately, that's changed. Now, instead of us taking people from their homes, they illegally enter the county themselves and willingly subject themselves to awful working conditions and hard labor. But, they do get a small wage.
So, to sum up, to say the confederate flag represents slavery, is like saying slavery ended with the end of the confederacy. It didn't. Now, the way business was done in slavery ended but to say that the confederate flag represents the old way the business of slavery was done is ludicrous. Therefore, the only thing the confederate flag represents is the flag of a nation that is being oppressed by a stronger more powerful nation that refuses to recognize the rights of that nation and continues to subject it to its laws and its military force.
I guess you could say the confederacy is really like Tibet and the North is like China. So, really, this skin is like saying Free Tibet but in reference to the USA.
