[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The flag is still flying mainly because symbolism is much more important to the people who want to fly the flag than to everyone else. The leaders of the groups that would oppose the Confederate flag are focused on real issues and policies that affect the people they represent, so they do not want to waste their financial and political capital on a fight that would generate a lot of passion, but not much else. T[b]here also is a strange phenomenon among white Southerners where the great majority never think about the Confederate flag or other symbols of the old South until someone tries to ban them, and then they defend the flag/symbols for a brief period until the issue is pulled from the agenda[/b]. [/quote] This is so, so true. I can only hope that now that the flag has been associated with this horrible murderer in Charleston, that more SC whites will wake up to this fact.[/quote]
