Just to be clear, one more time, I DO NOT WANT THE CONFEDERATE FLAG TO BE BANNED, RESTRICTED, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT!

I do. Not in OOT, but to have any part of a flag flying over any state capital with a confederate flag design is completely unacceptible. Not only for what that flag, rightly or wrongly, symbolizes to millions of Americans, but also because THEY LOST THE WAR. If you lose the war, you do not get to continue flying your colors. But even ignoring that, it should be pretty obviously wrong for any public institution to have any part of that flag.

Clark, just to be clear, I was only talking about this forum. I agree that it shouldn't be flown in those settings for the same reasons you state. I think you'll agree that it shouldn't be restricted on this forum.

Im in 100% agreement with all of this. clark and evan's.

I agree with this too. However, my post was about racism and symbols in context. We have been drastically sidetracked.
