and El D is exactly right! the majority of people who fly confederate flags are not doing it b/c of 'heritage' or whatever.

just b/c some well meaning people do doesn't mean the majority don't.

for the thousandth time: flying the conf. flag did not become popular until the Civil Rights movements. if the flag really stood for heritage, this would not be the case.

Kneel, I've never really noticed your posts before, but you'ev been remarkably right int his thread. Challah!

Man, is that why the emblem got put on so many states flags in 1894? Because of the civil rights movement in the 1950's and 1960's? Wow, I got totally owned here.

BTW, it's obvious that the flag grew in popularity in the 1950's but to say it wasn't popular before is just ridiculous.
