Some time after the civil war (1910? 1930?) everyone forgot it had confed connotations.

This is totally unlike say, statues of Lee. Were there statues of Lee before the civil war? No. Has anyone forgotten that they are about the Civil War? No.


Swastikas predated the Nazis, and they co-opted them. So therefore we should all start flying swastika flags because they predated them?

No.

Get another flag. Get another state sing while they're at it. Maryland my Maryland is racist AF. And the national anthem needs to go too because F S Key was a slavery advocate.

I vote we all just sing "O Tenenbaum." (And I'm Jewish.)

This. If there's anything even remotely racist associated with it - and there is - it needs to go

Then the National Anthem needs to go.

It's a racist song, so yeah, that could go to.


Just one verse (and even that can be interpreted differently) which no one actually sings.

It reminds me of a poorly conceived clown costume, but it's not confederate.
