The NAACP has fought to NOT allow it to be flown ANYWHERE.
The NAACP has fought to not have the Confederate Stars and Bars flown over government buildings and property. That's a bit different from ANYWHERE. You are free to fly that flag at your house without the NAACP bothering you. Now your neighbors may look at you funny, but rest assured that the mean ol' NAACP will leave you alone.
Referring to a group of persons or a subject as a whole, as opposed to particular ones. For example, I am speaking about contracts in general, or Girls in general mature at a younger age than boys. [Late 1300s] For an antonym, see in particular.
For the most part; commonly, usually. For example, In general the children behaved very well, or Our winters are quite mild in general.
I was basing my statement based on what I think, "in general" means.
Apparently, you have different meaning. Which is OK.
I HAVE complained to both sides for using blanket statements. I just DON'T do it all the time.
And I don't often USE blanket statements, but sometimes it's easier than saying "in many cases, not all, but most of my experiences, etc." And hey, it seems generalizations are the only language some people here understand - so I am no longer worrying about that!
Who it be ok if a person tied a mexican flag to a rope and displayed it as he drug it behind his car?No one could do anything about that right?
AFAIK, there is nothing illegal about that... it's not even really illegal to desecrate an American flag, if I'm not mistaken. So yeah, I guess that would be "ok" legally speaking.

That is YOUR prerogative. Just don't expect to NOT be challenged when you do.

There are MANY cases where the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people have opposd the flag, period.
"NAACP To Boycott NASCAR Over Confederate Flag?
"Note this: The NAACP isn’t talking about the NASCAR organization. NASCAR already forbids the display of the controversial symbol by the organization. The NAACP is talking about the fans. They don’t want the fans to display the flag."
