Re: Confederate flag, yes or no?

and it wasnt so much about states rights as it was about an opposing army rebelling against the formation of a Union to form the USA. Im sorry but the confederates lost the civil war, and are now part of the USA. The war is not still going on. get over it.
The negative image that is now that flag, is entirely self brought on. Uneducated idiots took it as their symbol that slavery should still exist and to promote a racial boundary. Sure you have your freedom of speech, but even with free speech you are stereotyping yourself with a negative image. Just like the black panther flags make me stereotype them as a angry black man, against whitey, and like was said before Nazi Flags and Tattoos have a negative connotation to them as well. It would be like a skinhead saying his tattoos and flags are not racist, they were about the rise of the german people and taking their country back. Sorry but I am not naive.
