And why would you expect to see a rainbow flag? What a bizarre comment.

As a Southerner I find this confederate flag waving troubling.

Folks can debate the Civil war till the cows come home. However, those of us who've lived here a long time know that the flag took on an uglier meaning in the 1950s when it was adopted as the banner of segregation, Jim Crow and opposition to equal rights for blacks.

That it symbolizes anti-black attitudes was once again made clear when these flags were secretively laid out on the MLK memorial. If they simply represented "southern pride," then why was it important to lay them on places that memorialize the most famous leader of the civil rights movement?

We've worked hard here in the South to move beyond that.

Didn't the South lose the war so what heritage is their to celebrate? And if your ancestors was fill with racism and prejudice, but yet defended the South, why on earth would anyone be proud of that.
