QUICK QUESTION I HAVE ABOUT THE US

HOWDI DO, Y'ALL HOOTENANNY YANKS !


If you were a Whitie Yank and you flew a Confederate Flag in you front garden today, would people think you were a racist/White Supremacist?


I'm asking this question because I've just watched an awesome documentary (by Martin Scorcese) about "The Band" (i.e. the US, R&B/Rock group that included Levom Helm and Robbie Robertson). The documentary was called, "The Last Walz," and it featured "The Band" performing their hits live, supported by other big names (like Van Morrison, Neil Diamond and Ringo Star) who came to help them their final farewell, concert home. This took place in either 1976 or 1978 - I can't remember. the exact year.


In between songs, the producer filmed members of the Band off stage, chatting casually about some of the memories they had from their 16 years on the road. In one of the rooms where these off-stage chats took place, there was a large Confederate Flag pinned up on the wall with "DIXIE" printed across the bottom.


I thought to myself how interesting it was that this documentary was not afraid to show that the boys from "The Band" still proudly identify with the Confederacy/ the culture of the old South. This was in 1976, remember, and many 1000s of Americans would have watched this documentary when it was released, as "The Band" had a large popular following in America at the time.



Another thing that made me smile was when members of the Band would casually recall how the best thing about being on the road was the women. They were talking about all of the many female fans they'd "nailed" (Southern Belles ??) without having to raise a little finger. I think that If any male celebrity in America were to make the same kind of remarks today, in 2026, he'd be rapidly crucified by the MSM/ social media for being a MALE CHAUVINIST and a disgusting, SEXIST PIG?
The blue-haired, liberal women, for example, would all have kittens (!!).


Anyway, getting back to the question I began with; it seems to me that the Confederate Flag now regarded as a far-Right, racist, white supremacist, hate symbol in America(?) And if you lived anywhere in mainstream America (in "the North" or "the South"), flying a big Confederate Flag on your property would be viewed as an: offensive; provocative and anti-social act - that could get you in serious trouble.


Is that correct, or have I misunderstood the issue?

The group were interviewed in a room somewhere fifty plus years ago that had a Confederate flag in the background and you are inquiring as to its significance as to today?

To me, 50 years is relatively short time for the Confederate Flag - the "Stars and Bars" - to have been transformed from a tolerated, commonplace icon of American culture in the 19th century, into a symbol that is as incendiary as der Blutfagbe ( the NAZI's "official" red white and black Swaztika banner.

Also, 50 odd years after "The Band" wrote the hit song, - "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" - (which was a defiant lament for the fall of Richmond in 1865), this song is still probably known and loved by countless thousands of Americans in 2026.

While the ante - bellum South's practice and defence of slavery was , I agree, (morally) indefensible; in numerous other respects, it successfully promoted values: of beauty (aesthetic), refinement, elegance and chivalry.

Ahh, the (alleged) Nazi Dog from Down Under comes again with a self answered question skewed to discredit criticism of those American yahoos STILL fighting Civil War (ideology, that is).

Let me educate this goose stepping simpleton.

www.americansongwriter.com/behind-the-historical-meaning-of-the-night-they-drove-old-dixie-down-by-the-band/

The reason why The Band wasn't considered "pro-confederacy" was that the song was a sympathy for the poor bastards that lost everything while never thinking about the core reasons why. Catch what Robertson says at the end of the article.

The Band, like the Alman Brothers, had SOUL. That's why they were legendary .... that's why in the movie "The Last Waltz" the ladies of The Staple Singers joined them for a rendition of "The Weight".

TO DATE, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT THE BAND FLEW THE CONFEDERATE FLAG AT ANY OF THEIR CONCERTS.

What desperate goose-steppers like our Nazi Dog don't understand that there is a DISTINCT DIFFERENCE between southern culture and the Confederacy .... just like there is a distinct difference between German culture and Nazi-ism.

Black folk who remained in the Southern states long after the Civil War and Jim Crow ended understand that. The Alman Bros. and The Band (Canadians) got that.

Lynard Skynard was the only big name band that consistently used the Confederate flag as a back drop, using the same rhetoric to justify it as "culture" that you hear from the likes of current yahoos (some who attempted an insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.

During the 1970's the American music scene was going through "culture wars", where the divide was between "white rock", Country/Western like the above mentioned,"black soul/R&B" with all its variations (from James Brown to AWB) and Latin dance (which became 'disco'). Local radio stations were almost like armed camps ... which became confusing due to the inundation of monster bands like The Stones, The Who, etc., who didn't quite fit either category. Idolization of Hendrix another example. All the while, American Jazz and it's various categories was gaining "mainstream" audiences (Weather Report, The Crusaders Stanley Clarke) Then you had the advent of Rap & Hip Hop. In any event, it was interesting times.

So it's not surprising that desperate dolts like the Nazi Dog would drag up the old racial divides that permeated audiences (but NOT advocted by any musicians themselves). Essentially, it's all he has.

And again, why is some bigoted braying jackass for Down Under so hyper fixated on black people in America? I hope he's at least getting paid at scale for his troubles. :chesh:

Just a note here: The big-name bands typically were ones that had composed music and used far more musicians and instruments in their songs.

The Who, ELO, Elton John, Queen, to name just a few played orchestrated music with complex lyrics. It could be rock opera, but it also could be orchestrated rock.

Rap and hip hop are not music most of the time. They are Adult themed nursery rhymes (simple two-line rhyming) recited to sampled tones. They are not "singing" but rather spoken, hence, recited.

Confederate flag was never tolerated by most of America nor commonplace, and today it is fully recognized for what it represented

The song is part of their Americana themes and isn’t aimed at creating sympathy for the Confederate cause

And I can’t see any values of anything in Dixie culture, just hate
