People refuse to believe that to some people it might mean state pride, states rights, and those people don't intend to start another civil war.

No wacki, that's not true. I do not think that NO ONE waves the Confedrate flag without any racist views. I've said that many times. If I put it on Google will you start remembering it?

So I posted pics of the General Lee and black people holding the flag. All the people who claim the flag is only displayed by inbred racists **cough *** Evan and friends ***cough*** have refused to aknowledge the fact that those black people see the flag symbolizing something else.

Good job, you found 5 black people that like the flag. If I find 6 that don't will I be right?

I long ago tried to stop worrying about words and just focus on people's intentions. If you take a little time to react less impulsively in these situations and try to look beyond the words, perhaps you'll develop a greater understanding and appreciation of who's really bigoted and who isn't.

Replace "words" with "pictures" and you sort of just shot yourself in the foot.
