The same people who "think" that way are the same people who "think" their Rebel Flag only stands for southern pride.

They actually know better but like to hide behind their ignorance.

Sounds like a number of liberals here are suffering from Beck derangement syndrome. You're doing a great job at making yourselves feel better using the hate speech you accuse others (like Beck) of. Pretty damn ironic.

It was formed in 1909, in a bygone era where racism was accepted and prevalent.

It is now 2011. If you cannot accept that things have changed then that is YOUR problem. It is no longer 1909, and Beck's race baiting only works like a dog whistle to those who tune in to his nonsense.
