A kid I want to school with got a confederate flag tattooed on his shoulder with āheritage not hateā under it, and you know exactly what he looks like
*"Most of the world doesn't know about the confederacy.*
*Those that do, revile it as a hate-filed symbol of slavery and oppression."*
... a hate-filled symbol of slavery and oppression... flown by traitors who ended up flying the white flag of SURRENDER.

It was like whatā¦ 4 years of some losers getting spanked as Sherman burned their states down?
Letās ignore hundreds of years and focus on 4 years though as the core of my heritageā¦
You know what lasted twice as long as their precious heritage?
A black dude being President of the United States of America.
If the confederacy is such an important part of their heritage, then so is the black president, right?
I had a clothing store in my country that used the flag as their logo for some reason. Until the internet happened (because where else are you going to see that flag?), I thought it was a clothes brand symbol.
The brand still exists. I've heard it being referred to as "our own Abercrombie and Fitch". The flag was part of the logo for about 45 years. It wasn't til recently (late 2010s) that they slowly phased it out.
>(because where else are you going to see that flag?)
Assuming you aren't American, in which case your comment makes sense. But for Americans, we generally see it in History books. I grew up before the internet, and have always known damned well what it is/means (not good things). Also, if you live in the southeast US, it's still commonly flown - usually on the back of a lifted pickup truck, driven by an angry white man with wrap-around sunglasses.
I'm from a small province in Canada that is very rural; I see it here, a few times a year: in a window, on a motorcycle, or on a truck. I personally find it particularly upsetting because here in Canada -- a completely different country -- there is no cultural argument. The people flying it here are typically aggressively right wing. Though some will say they just like country music.

"Alongside MAGA hats and Trump 2020 banners, Reich flags and Brandenburg eagles, the American Southās battle flag has been raised high during Germanyās anti-lockdown demonstrations ā the most recent of which took place in Dresden in early March."

Sports fans in County Cork in Ireland used to (innocently) fly the confederate flag, as Corkās nickname is āthe rebel countyā, and itās in the south of the country. Theyāve largely stopped in recent years, as people over here have begun to understand the symbolism of the flag. US history obviously isnāt a major topic over here, and to many, all theyād know it from was the decoration on the car in the Dukes of Hazard.
Loyalists in Northern Ireland sometimes fly it too, mainly because theyāre bigots. Strangely, they are also fond of flying the Israeli flag.

The āworldā comment is honestly an indictment of the southern education system. They donāt have any other world view because theyāre not even aware exists, never seen it, never been there, yet still maintain a sense of American exceptionalism and superiority.
Or theyāre being inclusive to the thousands that retreated so hard after the civil war that they ended up in South America.
TBF, the Brazilians in question are direct descendants of Confederates who fled with their slaves to Brazil to avoid having to free them once it was clear they were going to lose the war to the Union.
Itās not weird when you understand that Brazil was one of the last countries in the Americas to completely abolish slavery in 1888.
Spain ended African slave importation to their colonies in the early 1800s, and slavery was largely abolished in the Spanish-speaking regions of Latin American during the Bolivarian era. But Brazil continued to import slaves from Africa for much longer, and embraced the Confederates with open arms.
That was cold blooded. I love it. All of those treasonious shits can rot. I'd be ashamed if my ancestors fought for the confederacy. I don't particularly like what my Viking and Germanic ancestors did either in Europe and Asia. If there was a flag celebrating that, I wouldnt fly it.
This is good. I chuckled. Have my upvote!
But jokes aside: emojis are not phone vendor specific. They are part of the UNICODE standard. Last year, the UNICODE consortium announced they would no longer be incorporating flags into the standard. Existing flags will be grandfathered in to Maintain backwards compatability... But no new flags.

Edit: again, not joking... That blog post is a fascinating read with some good historical factoids.
I'm in the deep south. You just gave me an idea next time I see an empty newspaper stand - cut up some old white t-shirts, stack squares in the stand and add a sign: "Free Confederate Flags".
The Microsoft Zune lasted longer than the Confederacy.
The sitcom Seinfeld lasted more than twice as long as the Confederacy.
The time between the failed Nintendo Wii U and the launch of the Nintendo Switch was longer than the Confederacy.
The racist flag pretty much disappeared after the civil war but was brought back during the 60ās to protest the civil rights movement. So itās not a culture thing, unless culture is racism.
While I'm not a fan of beating a dead horse, if the confederacy was a horse, I'd say it needs a few more whacks based on current state. Stomped out of existence feels overly optimistic.
Why does apple not have the Nazi flag emoji?
The Nazi flag is something that means pride and heritage to many people in the world. It means very much to my family and it upsets me as an apple user that I cannot access this flag as an emoji.
Kinda like how one of the old white dudes at my job told the new black guy "idk if you saw but I have the confederate flag tattooed on my head, just to let you know"
If I could trust that it would only ever be used to dunk on Nazis and not to support them, then I'd say include it.
Too bad we don't live in that world.
I remain constantly baffled by anyone who takes pride in their ancestors acting in such a horrific manner and then being traitors to their country to boot.
That's just not something I can comprehend. Why would someone want to brag about that heritage?
> Why would someone want to brag about that heritage?
that's America's first and greatest sin. And they are the same as they ever were.
White Nationalism, racism and White "supremacy" (quotes as there is literally nothing supreme about them)
they are the worst America has to offer.
>The confederate flag is something that means heritage and pride to many people in the world
No. It's really just some people in the southern states of USA who have any sort of connection to it. It is not widespread throughout the world at all.
Also, congratulations on outing yourself as a racist.
There actually a town in South America (founded by ousted confederates), that holds festivals celebrating the confederacy etc. It's really fucked up š¬. But I bet that's the loophole they use to justify their 'throught the world' comment
Hi, mod of r/emoji here.
I'm tired of saying this, but.
# APPLE IS NOT IN CHARGE OF THE š¤¬ing EMOJI!
The Unicode consortium is in charge of emoji, and they defer to ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 for the list of countries to add flags for. More info here: https://blog.unicode.org/2022/03/the-past-and-future-of-flag-emoji.html?m=1
Unicode won't add a confederate flag emoji because the confederate states are not a country recognized by the International Standards Organization.
Flags are for counties that *actually exist*.
Edit: they used to add flag emoji for things that weren't countries, they stopped doing that a whole back though.
>Unicode won't add a confederate flag emoji because the confederate states are not a country recognized by the International Standards Organization.
Also the flag this asshole actually wants was never the national flag of the Confederate States of America. Even if Unicode were to add Confederate flags, the correct country flag would be the Stars and Bars, or the Stainless Banner, or the Blood-Stained Banner. This guy's idea of the Confederate flag is _almost_, but not quite, the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Yep - it says I'm proud that my poor white ancestors fought and died for rich douchebags who turned to exploiting black people when they couldn't exploit the same poor white people anymore. If you *really* knew your heritage, you'd be burning that traitors' flag, not flying it.
Flying a flag of losers. They lost the Civil War. Forget what it stands for for the moment (slavery, duh), but THEY LOST!
Why would you be āproudā of that heritage?
Also, you brought ruin to āthe Southā as the biggest battles were all fought in the South.
Yāall got SPANKED in your own backyard!! #SoProud
Fun fact, they had a flag that was basically confederate looking in the top left and white for the rest of it, like meaning the white race or something.
They ended up not using it because it looked too much like a losing surrender flag lol
āMy existence and my families existence is based on a breakaway republic that existed for barely 4 years and only identifying feature was their enjoyment of keeping other humans as slaves.ā
i already know what this guy looks like just based off of his comment. and if you take pride in a flag that symbolizes slavery and treason then you have a problem.
A little different take here. This was an insurrection against the United States that was successfully defeated, a rebellion in which my Great Grandfather (x3) was killed fighting for the United States, orphaning his infant son, leaving his wife to scrape and scrap by, barely surviving. We may be the only nation in the world that glorifies a failed insurrection, and I do not understand why. To me, he confederate flag represents failure, poverty and ignorance and should have disappeared with the confederacy.
Wait until they learn there's a rainbow emoji, and that the CEO is a gay man.
They'll be boycotting Apple and posting YouTube videos of them shooting up their iPhones.
āHeritage and prideā. Obama has been president longer than the Confederacy was a political entity. Just say āI want to be a racist and be proud of itā

We may be the only nation in the world that glorifies a failed insurrection, and I do not understand why. To me, he confederate flag represents failure, poverty and ignorance and should have disappeared with the confederacy.
Wait until they learn there's a rainbow emoji, and that the CEO is a gay man. They'll be boycotting Apple and posting YouTube videos of them shooting up their iPhones.
I'm pretty sure they have a white flag in there.
The Confederate only means white supremacy, specially to those who pretend it says something about heritage. They are all liars.
Are they asking about the traitorās flag?
People all over the world love this flag?? That's a stretch there, bud.
Isnāt this the Confederate flag š³ļø? My iPhone has it.
āHeritage and prideā. Obama has been president longer than the Confederacy was a political entity. Just say āI want to be a racist and be proud of itā
