You just know so much history about that flag- did jimmy carter feel it was a symbol of hatred and worse towards blacks?[/quote]

And if not, then when did it become one?[/quote]

When did the flag become a symbol of hatred and worse toward blacks?

How about looking at what its designer, William Tappan Thompson, said about what it meant as a symbol:

[quote]As a people, we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.

Such a flag…would soon take rank among the proudest ensigns of the nations, and be hailed by the civilized world as THE WHITE MAN'S FLAG.

As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals.[/quote]

When did it become a symbol of hatred and worse toward blacks?  It was a symbol of hatred and worse from the day it was designed.[/quote]
