The official flag of the CSA flies over the state capitol every Confederate Memorial Day and Confederate Flag Day in Raleigh.
Geesh, I hate it when folks say that as if Atlanta has done everything wrong and Charlotte has gotten everything right. It's not that cut-and-dried, especially when Charlotte is just as sprawling as Atlanta is (proportionally speaking). That's simply the reality of booming in a post-WWII, autocentric environment and it's the reality for all booming Sunbelt cities. Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with taking cues from places that have done things right. That's how you learn and grow.
OF COURSE it will fly on the Capitol grounds, that's a given. It's one thing to be flown at the Capitol grounds..HISTORIC grounds, but to fly that flag for "pride"...you won't see that in Raleigh..I guarantee you will see it in Charlotte. I'm talking around the city of Raleigh. Ride around Raleigh and tell me where you see confederate flags.
Omg here we go again with the (oh we want to be like Atlanta or NYC) Charlotte is having tons of urban density development and know one wants to be a sprawling region like Atlanta. The only thing that some of us look at nyc for is there mass transit and Charlotte is doing a damn good at building ours out. Hell are we growing SOOO fast and TOO new that it looks like we are copying other cities. No we look At older cities like Atlanta so we don't end up as a congested heart artery. And were never called the new anything but the ( The New South). Oh who the hell cares about barbeque when my partner makes it (New Orleans's style) That's deep South barbeque. I love Charlotte and what's it is doing.
New Orleans needs to stick to the Jambalaya and Gumbo..LOL.Oh yea, heads up.... You misspelled a couple of words genius...LOL..(I'm messin' with ya)
The truth is the truth...Never said Charlotte sucks, never said I hated Charlotte....just stated the obvious.
It's not truth, it's a ignorant opinion. That Charlotte is rednecks... Ok...
Raleigh is a great little town. One day, it'll grow up like Charlotte (assuming Raleigh's growth rate Not only Catches up to Charlottes but by a large margin)
In other news: Atlanta is nothing but thugs and Houston is nothing but cowboys and Austin nothing but Mexicans....
Charlotte's 2013 population is 792,862; 55% of those folks (436,074) are minorities. Raleigh's 2013 total population is 431,746. Clearly, Charlotte's minority population out-numbers Raleigh's total population.

Big talk for a resident of Sprawleigh. Show us an area like this in your neck of the woods.

Great little town? Not worth responding to. Charlotte needs a better spokesperson! By the way is there something wrong with Mexicans? Sounds kinda funny coming from a person who come from a place that brags on diversity.

Yeah, Im the gay son of parents from Spain. I love cities and I love different cultures in particular Middle east, Europe & South America. So yeah, I dont hate diversity :/ and I find diversity to be more than "Black, White, Brown, Muslim & Asian"

city size isn't a factor, The metropolitan regon is what matters, and Charlotte really isn't "LARGER" than Raleigh...BOTH areas are over 2 million people.
Uhhh, yes it is. City, MSA, or CSA, Charlotte is bigger. Look up the urbanized area stats to really see how bigger Charlotte is by itself.

Tell me when Raleigh's metropolitan area had over 2 million people.
