Still an issue after so many years of struggle ! what's wrong ?
The disrespect of black citizens of that state is astonishing, but this is the level that conservatives sink to defend the staus quo.
A symbol that fought for the continued enslavement of black citizens is not something that the conservative political leadership can bear to part with.
Oh good, let's dredge up a non-issue that was settled years and years ago here in SC. The statehouse grounds has momuments to honor various groups of SC citizens, including our black citizens, dead Confederate ones, war veterans from WWI and WWII, etc. As a matter of fact, our statehouse grounds is one of the only with a monument specifically for our black citizens who were once slaves and became one of the critical backbones of our state's population and culture. The flag is part of a monument and its current location was at the request of the state NAACP. But yes, let's try and make an issue of it again. Sheesh, there's more important things to worry about.

conservatives hate
PSSST!!! 2014 called, and wants you to join the rest of us Americans in the present, and stop living in the past. Slavery is dead, has been for many years, and the Civil Rights Movement made the Constitution whole ensuring that all Americans have equal rights. It is really simple..... If you don't like the flag don't look at it, or fly it. If you get offended over a piece of cloth, then you really should find a hobby or something.
California bans its own state agencies from displaying or selling the flag.
Not exactly the way you portrayed it. And it didn't happen in this thread.
That's strike two against your jumping into the thread to change the subject and your laughable and weak attempt to defend your being off topic to the hilt.
Burning American flag is considered LEGAL in this country. Not sure why flying the confederate flag is so offensive. Who cares?!
Just what I was going to post!
