Why is the confederate flag in Europe?

[arkansasstokefan]

In my travels around Europe I have seen the southern cross flying a few times.

Anyone have an idea why?

See attached pic from Liverpool which has the flag in the stands.

All to do with the dukes of hazard... (the original series for anyone under 40 that may be reading).

The number of wanks I've had over daisy duke is beyond comprehension.

Best TV car ever too.

A serious answer anyone?

If you search online for her you will see some nice pics of her helping gentlemen sausage in her mouth. I have never seen them. Heard it from a friend.

I have no idea why that particular flag is flying other than it's a really cool looking flag.

Don't think any reason for it to be honest...doubt may would know the history of it, just looks cool as someone said.

What is the history behind it then?\

The southern cross is not the true confederate flag but kkk and neo nazi groups use it.

Now for most people in the south it's not about race that it is flown but the war of northern aggression. Just google that to a wiki.

But seeing the flag in Europe is interesting as here in the USA you are labeled as a racist for having one.

From researching this a little the southern part Italy uses it because they were rebells at some point.

If I put that pic in my Facebook timeline there would be an out cry of racism and how white people everywhere hate black people. Crazy sounding I know....

As a racist, I like to start every sentence with "as a racist", just so people don't get the wrong idea.
