When was the last time you saw a Confederate Flag/Symbol? (Martin: schools, gated)

Wouldn't really expect you would. T answer the question I see one about every day. Either on the front of someone's car as a license plate and also there's a cemetary in Douglasville near where I live that has a bunch of them on people's graves.

If you don't have a confederate flag on your 60s chevy, you are doing it wrong

I basically only see them on offroad vehicles and the like. Its a mud thing, you wouldnt understand

I see one everyday in front of a house on Atlanta Rd.. I'd love to catch them outside at the mailbox and ask them some questions.

I only put mine up on Confederate Memorial Day once a year.....out of respect for those that died.

As a veteran I understand that.Its the other stuff that people who use it as a symbol to showcase their hate is when I have a problem.

We were going to Dahlonega to go hiking but decided to stay overnight the night before in Helen where there was a hotel with an indoor pool so my son could go swimming. While we were in the pool, which is a glassed in room, a guy in a pickup truck, with a regular flag pole attached to the bed and a GIANT Rebel Flag on it, came ROARING through the parking lot, made screeching circles around the few cars there, and then ROARED out.

My son, who is nearly 9, looked completely perplexed at this behavior and said, no lie, "What a douchebag."

So then I had to have a discussion about vulgar language (thanks, DAD!) as well as stupid behavior.

I hope your son intended the "douchebag" comment for the way the fool was driving, not because he had a rebel flag attached to his truck.

Please. How do you know it's hate?
Could be historical pride.

Just like the pride an African American shows by wearing a Malcolm X shirt, or a Martin Luther King shirt, etc. You get the point.

Can't be both the pot and the kettle, and frankly, I'm sick of the double standards.

Seems to have gone out of style....I never notice them.

I'm black and I live in downtown Decatur. I see them around here sometimes, usually as decals on trucks of guys who commute here from smaller towns. They don't really bother me. To each its own as long as the people who have them don't bother me. They are no different than black pride t-shirts or whatever.
