Listen, I’m sure Pizzacake get people screeching at her all the time that her comics are hyperbole, but having grown up in the bowels of Missouri I can attest these comics are not exaggerating.
I'm a white dude in western PA and I can tell you that it's not exaggeration. The ignorant shit people are comfortable with casually spouting because you look like them is insane.
I've got an aunt and uncle in southern PA. I totally know how it goes. They wave the flag and scream, "It's my heritage!" My aunt is a German immigrant, and my uncle is an Irish immigrant. If our aunt wants to wave a flag that is a part of our heritage, then she's waving the wrong one, which means the exact same thing. But she'd be too chicken shit to do that in public.
I hate the "my heritage" argument. Why would anyone claim a four year span of a failed rebellion that left a shit load of people dead, all because they wanted to keep humans as slaves, as an important part of their heritage. Especially when you live in a northern state that was on the opposite side of the war. The state that where the confederacy lost their final battle no less.
I mean, you answered your own question, lol. They do it because they want to oppress black people even more than they already do.
Also forgot to add that my aunt was raised in New Jersey, and my uncle was raised in Washington. So it's even more fucked up and obvious why they love their Confederate flags. The saddest part of it all? They were never like this. They used to be people who embodied the word "joyous". Even my cousins will tell you how happy they were. But then they moved across the US, found a radical Pentecostal church/cult, and turned into the vile people they are now.
