[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until this recent incident, I had no idea that the Confederate flag was still flown and that flag merchandise was available, let alone popular. I thought that sort of thing went out at least fifty years ago. It's really disturbing that people even feel the need to debate this.[/quote]

I recently traveled 2,500 miles through the south and because of what happened in SC, and the many debates on here, I was looking for the stars and bars. Many of those miles were spent on state highways so I saw homes, small towns, lots of local cars and more. I saw exactly ONE Confederate flag...it was flying outside a store that sold flags along with many other kinds of flags. I saw no stickers displaying those colors. In fact, I saw a lot of signs on businesses and churches expressing support for the families who lost their lives in that church. I saw one sign, a rather large one, in east Texas that said...IMPEACH OBAMA. 50 years ago it wasn't uncommon to see the Confederate flag. 30 to 40 years ago I would have still seen a quite a few. Today, thankfully, it is very rare. It will never go away completely but it is good that it is headed to obscure status.[/quote]
