Re: Confederate flag, yes or no?

Ya this is a huge debate going on right now here as our gov. Wants to take it off the state house.

Personally I thought it was removed already a few years ago. But I guess not. Amd after the shooting in Charlestown, she wants to remove it.

But like posted above and also by my wife. The confederate flag wasnt about slavery.
People here always says its about the heritage here. Its still on license plates everywhere.

And there are slogans you see on cars constantly here that state.
"heritage not hate"
And I would also tend to think that alot of the people complaining also dont know what it stood for (like myself personally) I always assumed you see the confederate flag. I just associated it with people who probably were in the kkk or something. But was put in my place the first time this topic got brought up here at work.
