I've been meaning to revisit this forum for some time and apologize. Unfortunately I lived in a small world here in the South, and was very naive to the stories of others who didn't look like me. Hope everyone is well, and that there hasn't been anymore threads like this. |

Hopefully we can all look back on things we said and did 9 years ago and be proud to be a better person with more perspective today. Good on ya, EcBob! |

I think that's the mental image that the board conjures for most of the negative comments here. At least something similar to that. Some white racist bigot bubba. I am 100% Southern. No member of my family, mom or dads side, ever lived north of Tennessee. Im the only one who left the south since my ancestors arrived from Ireland and Czechoslovakia. There is no way in hell I'd own that rebel flag board. |

He wore a Rebel Flag hat all the time. After that I figured to each is their own. This was in Central Oregon where even the coffee is white. |

The resin-stripe board is gorgeous, as is the noseblock on that triple stringer. Honestly, I'm not real psyched on the stars and bars--conjures too many bad things for me--but then again, I'm a Cali boy with no Southern history in my family. Had a g/f for a long time from Louisiana and she wouldn't be caught dead with Confederate anything. But she was a rare bird...a liberal from the South. And to think I still love Lynyrd Skynyrd! Not the retread version now posing as LS, but the original band. I always look forward to seeing more of your boards, Austin. Post 'em up when you've got 'em. And I'm offa my soapbox. Eric |

I understand it carries a ton of negatives, but I think we need to separate the owner of something like this board from the actual board. Same goes with the flag itself. Sure it can be owned by a backwoods racist *******, but it can just as easily be owned by someone who has grown up in the South or even a Dukes of Hazard fan. We get too touchy feely about so much nowadays. With that said I am amazed that it hasn't gotten local news coverage on display in front of the store Oh and for any one wondering the dims on it are 10' 24" Soul Glide I think |

My girl would love it ( huge fan of the old TV show ) too bad its big enough for her to use it as a SUP, It would work rather nicely for me though. Sweet lookin' boards! Also make me think of Cletus from the Simpsons. |

It's a hard call: Does one "move on" and "get over it" as Log Donkey suggests and ignore a significant part of our history, or rather ignore all the baggage that accompanies that time? Would it be OK to put a right-facing, black swastika with a white & red background on a board because, for the shaper, it's a Hindu sign for good fortune and not a symbol of death and destruction? For some, the "Stars & Bars" are just as offensive as a swastika. |

Guys used to paint swastikas on their boards just to piss people off or whatever, right? I'm all for punk antics but I doubt that's what this board is about. Whatever the wide swath of the "surf culture" encompasses these days I would think the line should be drawn somewhere before that. I expect to see plenty of bumper stickers and whatnot in that neck of the woods but not on surfboards. Different ideas down there, not for me, I hope the guy gets put in his place more than once for riding it but not sure if I blame Austin for giving the guy what he wanted??? (Edit, I am reminded of the board Austin made with the concave in the middle of the board, I guess he's down with whatever the customer wants.) |

I can understand being offended by something if it directly affected you or a love one that you actually knew. It's odd too that we hold onto the white racist references like we do and seem to overlook more recent indiscretions. Why aren't we still up in arms about internment camps we put Japanese Americans in? Or what we did to many Native Americans? Or the lack of civil rights given to blacks for years after slavery? Lots of terrible things have happened throughout history but for some reason we still bash a flag that we think only stood for the promotion of slavery. We should burn the current American flag too I guess because some awful things have happened while it flew overhead as well. |

Pardon my white guilt, but all the historical events you bring up are valid and part of the discussion of our identity as a nation and people. To simply say "get over it"would mean to me that we have reached a point of equality for all in the United States, which simply isn't the case. It's important to discuss these events of the past for the sake of progressing and treating people with respect in the present. I'm white. I live in the northeast. I know what I believe. I also know that people can believe different things and I'm ok with that. I weighed in on my view of the board, knowing that there would be people that would disagree and I'm sure Austin knew the same thing when the board was made. |

F that S and they can shove whatever other parts of their culture other than racism they're so ra ra about reviving up their hoo hoos as well. They're the ones who need to get over it and if it takes someone telling them that to their face (or dropping in on them) then so be it, I'm game and always will be. |

Yeah, good art provokes and agitates. Looks like you nailed it on both counts Austin. Looks like something LondonCalling would have ordered up. As a Russian, Romanian, Irish, Australian Jew from the north, I miss my debates with him. Noel, give me call. We have another election to argue over. |

People there in general regardless of color or any other difference you can think of treat you as a person. Sure there's pockets of hate everywhere but I didn't learn that and part of the reason is because of the diversity I lived thru from day one. Flags are flags. Designs. Just like some stupid resin swirl. So yeah, get over it. Put three extra stars on it is it still the same? Add a stripe to old faithful while yer at it. |
| 36058 | 430 | Some stuff I have been working on. | 32 | EcBob | Feb 12, 2012 | 2012-02-12T08:44:31-0500 | I heard a great interview with a black author one morning last year during Black History Month and I wish I could find it, but he was saying (and he may be wrongly speaking for all blacks here) that the reason the "N" word had become so prevalent over the years amongst them culturally was to remove the sting. He went into a long diatribe, but it boiled down to the fact that they were able to let go of it by using it. I can understand this board being a regional thing. I have lived in VA all my life and mainly in a rural area of Va Beach called Pungo. Growing up here and spending a lot of time in NC I have become so accustomed to seeing the Rebel Flag that I associate with region more than anything historical. I know black guys who have flown them at their houses or worn them on T Shirts. Its just part of the area, but like I said above in an earlier poatI am surprised that there hasn't been someone upset by it locally. Va Beach is highly transient and not all are so accustomed to seeing it. |

Add to the fact that he's a really solid guy. The board is not my cup of tea but I won't spend a second getting worked up about it. I guess here on the east coast or atleast from my area down south you get used to seeing the flag around. |

She and her family were living in SoCal before the war, lost everything, were sent to a camp in Jerome, Arkansas. Settled in MD after the war. When I was about ten we went on a vacation to North Carolina (vacations were rare events). I remember my mom singing in the car, happy. Then we came upon a barn with the entire side painted in a confederate flag. My mom went completely silent. That's what comes to mind whenever I see that flag -- my mom's silence. |

Interesting that your mom associated that flag with that event. Sorry about your mom's silence but here's an example of how ordinary the symbol is to many of us here locally. It is available on personalized license plates through the state. Image processing.

I said that a few surfers used to put swastikas on their boards and dress like nazis (even though they weren't) just to get a rise out of people but I doubted that that was what the sentiment of the board was about...more likely a true believer in southern pride. Someone else stated that the American flag could be viewed as a symbol of oppression to many as well, a valid statement that didn't display any disrespect to your precious nationalism. If you're going to call people stupid at least don't misrepresent them. As a matter of personal style I would not put either flag on a board and I would snicker at anyone who did. What are southerners so proud of anyway? The south SUCKS in pretty much every respect imho (but it's better than Nebraska I suppose). I would think that at least the surfers there would be cool and some are but all in all their Ron Jon F350 dixie flag surf culture misses the mark. |

You are definitely entitled to your opinion, but I think lumping Austin in with the Ron Jon crowd may be a smidge out of context. We do have a Ron Jon culture that is reflected in some stores here locally however that culture exists everywhere North, South, East, and West to varying degrees, but I don't see Austin in that crowd at all.

The concept of a strong central government in Washington, controlling the individual states, was anathema to the framers of the Constitution. This conflict of ideas about how the country should be ran was one of the main causes of the civil war. Slavery was an important issue to be sure; but contrary to modern teaching it wasn't anything like the primary cause of the US civil war (even though history books were quickly re-written to back that claim). After the war's end, the North took steps to ensure that the South would never be able to regain it's former economic strength. The South today is still poorer and generally less-educated, with inferior transportation systems and less well-developed industries - in spite of holding many more natural resources, usable deep-sea ports, and arable farm land. The victor also sent envoys to Russia, France, England, and Spain (all of which were set to normalize diplomatic relations with the South) to make sure they would not recognize the South as a separate nation. The North also used their much-enlarged army to wage a series of genocidal wars against the native American (Indians of the Western continent); conquer the natives of Alaska, Cuba, Florida, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico; and invade both Canada and Mexico. By objective standards, the Northern states were devoted to warlike conquest and a strong central government. To many Southerners, the Confederate battle flag doesn't represent racism or treason - racism existed in the North, and minorities were economically and socially repressed there, as well as being held in "indentured servitude". In an odd way, many Southerners see the Stars-and-Bars as representing adherence to the original principles of limited central government for which their fathers and grandfathers fought against the British.

This is the history I was taught in school in Texas. The war was primarily about natural resources. The north had the factories. The south had the resources. The south started to realize the power they held in that equation. There's a reason it is called The War of Northern Aggression in the south. Also, poidog (I think was you)...that was a heavy post about the Japanese Internment Camp. There was one of those in the town I grew up in. Super creepy. |

That is what the stars and bars represents to me. To allow the South to ceceede would have resulted in the perpetuation of slavery for who knows how long. |
