Tarantino: Confederate Flag Is ‘American Swastika’
Actor Quentin Tarantino is speaking out against the Confederate Flag.
Tarantino’s comment was made during an interview to promote his latest film, The Hateful Eight, which is due to hit the big screen on January 8 in the UK.
The film is set a few years after the American Civil War and it puts the spotlight on strained race relations in the country.
In it, black Union soldier Major Marquis Warren, played by Samuel L Jackson, is thrown together with former Confederate soldiers, including Walton Goggins as a South Carolinian sheriff and Bruce Dern as a General.
Although the movie is not about race, the subject is explored through the interactions between the characters…
In the interview with The Telegraph, Tarantino said: ‘All of a sudden, people started talking about the Confederacy in America in a way they haven’t before. I mean, I’ve always felt the Rebel flag was some American swastika.
‘And people are starting to question about stuff like statues of Bedford Forrest [the Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard] in parks. Well, it’s about damn time, if you ask me.’

i have to minimize it. i don’t have epilepsy, but, i keep looking at it, i’m sure i’ll develop it.
Tommie January 3rd, 2016 at 04:17
When i first saw it i was like whoa and thought to myself, i didn’t remember taking anything what’s wrong with my eyes! haha!
whatthe46 January 3rd, 2016 at 04:29
lol. did you minimize or close it? i don’t have it up. hurts my eyes.
Tommie January 3rd, 2016 at 04:45
I was stuck in a trance for about 5 min. and don’t know how to minimize it!
whatthe46 January 3rd, 2016 at 04:56
you know where the flag is right? well, right next to it is a “dash” if you will, just click on it and it will close her post. i use it when someone posts a novel and it takes up the whole thread. you can reopen it as well.
Tommie January 3rd, 2016 at 04:59

Having trouble deciding if that comment will cause R heads to explode, or if they’ll wear it as a badge of honor.

I think Tarantino’s observation is fair and I have to agree.

Exactly! The Dixie swastika is an IQ test, that Tea Klux Klan losers identify with.

Similiar thoughts but I see it more akin to a Nigerian Prince Letter scam. Seperating the gullible (and hateful in this particular scenario) from what little money they have.
Why the ‘Nigerian Prince’ scam is so stupid and yet so successful
http://freethoughtblogs.com/singham/2012/09/11/why-the-nigerian-prince-scam-is-so-stupid-and-yet-so-successful/
So what the scammers want to do is weed out right from the start those people who initially respond but are unlikely to send them money. In other words, they need to reduce the number of false positive signals and one way to do that is with a fairly obvious message.
(shorter: know your audience. lol)

Tell it like it is, Tarantino!

It’s also a symbol of treason.
Southern conservatives wanted to burn the country down rather than give up their right to own and abuse fellow Americans.
That is profoundly anti-American. And when they wave the confederate flag, they reveal their treasonous anti-Americanism.

back then it was profoundly american including Lincoln’s idea of an independent state for freed slaves. It’s sadly a profound attitude within american culture.

All the cool kids are on the right side of this argument …all the weirdos are just on the right.
He said, “‘All of a sudden, people started talking about the Confederacy in America in a way they haven’t before.”
It was not all of a sudden,it was when a black man was elected president and we all know it.
AND he is right about it being the American swastika.

Being that he’s built his entire cinematic career on violence and bloodshed, Tarantino is the LAST person who needs to be moralizing about the Dixie flag. Being from Texas (we were never exactly part of the South), I never used to care about it much, but after listening to all these ignorant haters trash-talk it for the last 6 months, I now believe it is time to raise one in my back yard. If it pisses off idiot Hipsters like you, I definitely like it.
