Obviously some sick self hating black people like the rebel flag, I imagine Clarence Thomas loves it. Same as some Jews will wave a Nazi flag, no accounting for mentally sick people.

That's harsh, it's all opinionated.

Some one likely offended on this earth by many flags. certainly the colonialist Europeans are hated in many places. that what drives it;hate. I guess I should be offended by what British empire did to my ancestors but then it drove them to come to America. Not much love for British in Scotland; Wales or Ireland which is well documented even to recent history.

But if a black person hoists up a Confederate flag, they aren't racist....they're idiots, tools and Uncle Toms. I mean, you're REALLY gonna endorse the symbol of a nation set up ad hoc to keep your black ass in bondage and subjugation? Really?

Simply intolerable. But hey...this is a free country.
Maybe they just have different beliefs than you, but yes it is free country. This black women got verbally attacked for carrying the flag, like OMG just leave her alone.

And now the National Park Service is banning the flag on the graves of Confederate soldiers. Those battlefields are mostly in the South, of course. Talk about a lack of respect for the dead!
