Dixie Flag

[DagonTheranis]

If you think about it, The south would probably be quite similar to a desert Point Lookout in some ways.

Damn it just make the flag; I ain't gonna use it as a symbol (I'm not even American) just as a nice wall decoration.

 

Ohh and the hate chinese, supermutans and ghouls more than black ppl is a most definitely in Fallout.

Ditching racism from the South is like ditching weed from Willie Nelson.

 

Can't be done.

 

 

This is a very offensive statement. I'll have you know that I'm from the South and I do not view myself as a racist. Your assumptions about me and the rest of the folks in the South are so hyped up with nothing but pure ignorant prejudice that it makes me sick to my stomach. I'm appalled that modern teachings are so bigoted these days. Don't you see the hate you're spreading with your generalized statement? You're statement promotes a free pass for others to spread hate and to bash on Southern folks for simply being born and raised in the South. That's just as wrong a slavery was but the difference is slavery was a US Constitutional right for the people living the America in 1863. Lincoln expelled that right - but only for those people in the South who seceded from the Union. Lincoln had African American slaves (servants) working for him however even after the war was over. He just ended slavery in the South because he wanted to create chaos in the South during the war by getting the blacks slaves to uprise against their white slave masters. Lincoln didn't end slavery in the South out of the kindness of his heart for the blacks despite what many ignorant teachings have taught you.

 

I've come to learn that American history is what America says it is and not actually what the truth really is. And the truth about slavery in the South shows something entirely different then what most kids are taught today. For instance, did you know that slave beatings were extremely rare. Did you know that buying a slave in 1863 was the same as buying a car today? Yep. Slaves were very expensive. So what would be the point of beating them senseless and to the place they could no longer work for you? That doesn't make any sense so it's most likely a myth that Northern folks created to induce mass hatred against rich Southern white men. Modern US history makes it appear that slave beatings were happening all the time despite there being very little evidence of it ever happening. I think a lot of negative myths about the South were spawned up by Northern folks right after the war ended and the South was forever painted in a negative manner because of them. There's no doubt that there was a lot of hate towards the South right after the war. People often trash talk each other after a fight. Just look at Germany. Many ignorant people still believe that all Germans are Nazis and that Japan is out to take over America. This all just nonsensical bigotry. Please re-learn history and do the research yourself. Don't let other people educate you with lies and false assumptions. History needs to be self-learned so that people can see for themselves what the truth is. I bet I can find a lot more articles and evidence that shows slave masters took very good care of their slaves and even educated them in reading and writing skills than I can find an actual document that shows any slave master beat a slave to death.

 

 

From "To kill a mockingbird" to "My Cousin Vinny" people are always depicting the folks in the South as a bunch of racists. It's about time this BS stops and we start learning to get over our petty differences. Just thought you should be aware.

[DagonTheranis]

Whilst I agree with your statement, I must say that this is completely off topic. The man simply wanted a confederate flag, which isn't that much to ask, and you guys turned it inot an argument about racism. If you want to discuss whether the south is racist or not, do it in the debates area, otherwise we should get back on topic before a moderator intervenes.

Why is it called the dixie flag, BTW? And is it a symbol or simply a decoration for a house?

[Skolhamarr]

thank you for that statement.

@garren69

 

while i understand your desire to protect your good name as a southerner, dont make blanket statements about slavery to make us all feel better.

 

Slaves never whipped? Masters educating their slaves?

Have you ever read anything Frederick Douglass wrote or said? Being an escaped slave himself, he had much insight into the life of a slave. Though he was educated, it was done ILLEGALLY (thats right it wasnt legal wiseguy) by his masters wife, from which he spread it amongst his fellow slaves, and when this was found out, he was sent to a poor southern farmer with a reputation as a "slave breaker" aka a guy who beats slaves into submission. This fact alone proves that he wasn't the only slave beaten because i doubt his reputation alone was built upon mr douglass himself. Your comparison of slaves to cars is right on, because ive seen plenty of people kick a car that refuses to run, so thanks for giving me an analogy to borrow ;)

 

Personally i believe that the actions of one or many people should never define the modus operandi of a given section of people organized by geographical barriers, and no, i dont think the current south is full of racism and bigotry anymore than many places in the north.

 

as for history being taught as america sees fit, i do agree with that sentiment, hence my value of mark twains famous quote "never let your schooling interfere with your education"

 

 

by the way, someome texture the poor kid a damn flag....

[DagonTheranis]

Debates thread or a moderator is going to intervene soon as you'll be reported. How do you even make a flag in the GECK anyways?

[evilneko]

You don't make a flag in the GECK. GECK is not a graphics tool. You make a mesh in a program such as Blender, and a texture in a program such as GIMP or Photoshop. And then you use some other tools to get it into the format you need. Finally, GECK to actually get it into the game by creating a new item using the mesh and texture.

 

Now if I knew anything about using Blender, and if I weren't so gimpy at GIMP, I could do it. ;)

 

I suppose one could skip the 3d modelling, and re-texture an existing wall piece to literally paint on a flag, but then you'd see that flag everywhere that piece was used.

 

Oh, and I'm Texan, meaning I probably should be offended by the "Racist South" stereotype. But, I'm not. To me, anyone who describes the south in such a way is just plain ignorant.

[DagonTheranis]

Someone just make the guy a flag so we can drop this.
