[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a proud descendant of confederate veterans.   My father proudly displayed our confederate battle flag in Vietnam.  The confederate flag fills me with pride in my region.  I don't care what you have to say otherwise.  [/quote]

I'm a proud descendant of Scotland, and I'm happy to wear my family tartan, but I don't fly the Scottish flag at my house. [/quote]

Many people do. You must be disappointed that not everybody is like you :lol:

I don't see the flag as racist. It's a flag for crying out loud. It represents the region that is culturally different from other regions withing the country. Nobody flips out when they see state flags.

I can sort of excuse black people's perspective on this. On the other hand, everything is racist for the black folks nowadays; sane people just shrug at the claim.[/quote]

I do see the Confederate Flag as racist [b]and so does every skin head in the country.  [/b]It is also a Losers flag which actually makes me embarrassed for the people who display it.  You lost the war that you started and yet you fly the flag to remind everyone that you are a loser?  [/quote]

So why legitimize a hate group that took on a symbol as their own by adopting their interpretation? It's original meaning was to represent states' rights. But I'm sure you are aware of this, no?[/quote]

Nonsense.  The svastika had many different meanings in many different religions before the Nazi's took it as their symbol.  It is NOW a representation of hatred and murder.  The original meaning makes no difference.  Same with the confederate flag.

And it is terrifying to think this fact is something you are not aware of.  [/quote]
