[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]So, what are your opinions about the Confederate Battle Flag?

Honestly, if the Battle Flag had remained just a symbol of fun-loving good ol' boys down on the farm a la "The Dukes of Hazzard," I wouldn't find it objectionable (and I think the decision to remove that show from the air because of it is just silly).  Also, TBH, it's actually a really cool design from a strictly graphic design POV.  I can totally understand why it remains popular based on that alone.

But its history as a symbol of armed treason against the duly constituted government of the United States, and later as a symbol of resistance against civil rights, is deeply offensive, and flying that flag on public property/at publicly-sponsored events should be banned because of that history.

BTW, the whole "Heritage not hate" POV is disingenuous to the point of being outright delusional, and people who seriously make that argument really should have their mouths duct-taped shut before they lower the collective IQ of the room even further.  [/quote]
