At this level you're not even that interested in effectively expressing your "heritage" or whatever it is you choose to be proud of. Instead, you immaturely crave to be as disruptive as possible about it, bringing attention to yourselves and the conflict. State something about your pride in "Confederate heritage" on your userpage or something if you absolutely must; it'll be slightly effective for presenting it as opposed to the vagueness of an avatar that can be easily perceived as racist.

And no, using these as a response to the rainbow LGBT* avatars that a few of our community members here have is not a valid comparison at all. Like I previously mentioned, an avatar that can be perceived as racist is certainly something to as you might label it, "take offense at". An avatar that represents an individual's sexual orientation is by no means something offensive to others, whether you're for or against homosexuality. I personally believe that homosexuality is a sin, but the existence of sin is by no means "offensive" to me, if we're dealing with the general definition of offense here. Don't make weak comparisons, guys. Be mature. If you want respect from others, then please act in a manner deserving of it. The amount of respect you decide to have towards somebody is your decision. You could have little respect for a mature person, and vice versa.

As to your saying " immaturely crave to be as disruptive as possible about it,"  if you are refering to my St George post, then that was intended as humor. Ik you'll say that it was immature humor, and idc wut you think of my humor. So don't even bring it up. And might I point out that you live in Florida, which was on the side of the confederacy. So are you a Yankee living in Rebel territory, or what?

and when has that comparison been made? I never made that comparison. Either somebody else brought it up, or you're making it up. As to be mature, hehe. nvmd. What if we're already acting in said mannor yet you find us immature still? That would make it your problem and not ours.
