RULES
-
No bigotry. The Union, or at least the part of the Union WE support, fought AGAINST that shite. We are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, anti-transphobic, and in general anti-bigot here, even if not all the lads in Union blue uniforms were.
-
No Confederate sympathizing. Anti-democratic racist slaver traitors don't deserve shit.

So imagine existing in a culture where hate and fear of out-groups is a large part and now imagine that you're also part of one of those out-groups but less hated than the main out-groups.
It's a survival technique:
"Pwease accept us, we'll still join you in hating the other groups that you do, just please don't hate me specifically."
Welcome to the fucked-up and confusing world of human socialising politics and morality.
See also: Jewish volunteers in the Nazi ghettos, anti-immigrant immigrants who just got their citizenship, and the whole of the working class when the media-asset-owning parasite class doesn't want the attention.
I'm broadly in favour of humans, but man we suck in stupid ways.
Pride Boys
You know, this actually seems kind of fun. Fly this and a BLM flag, and anyone who it pisses off is pretty clearly admitting that their "heritage" actually is just pride in racism and homophobia.
Someone said to my face that they are a liberal conservative. I just started laughing, said that's an oxymoron by definition, and quit listening
They're gay but they hate it?
