Reading the USA history as a foreigner,one realises that the South wanted to be an independent country,a Canada in the south...
So,the flag is a symbol of Southern identity & desire for freedom...
Desired to be "Free of the United States"?
Man, what is it that people call those people that go around the World saying that they want to be "Free from the United States"?
If it doesn't have anything to do with your present day life then why fight so hard to display it when many people are offended by it. Obviously, it does mean more than just a historical reference otherwise there wouldn't be such a fight to display it. "The South is over segregation"....do you want to recant that statement? Yes, there might be more KKK and Nazis in Idaho but the difference is the "regular people" in Idaho aren't racist whereas the ones in the Carolinas are but just don't feel like wearing white sheets. There is a reason South Carolina and North Carolina kept re-electing racists as Senators well into the 2000's aka Jessie Helms and Strom Thurmond. Sorry but those senators wouldn't have won office if just a tiny portion of your population voted for them!
see the hightlight (bold)....that's the biggest problem here in the usa...too many people offended by something, when there is no need to be offended
we need to stop all the 'political correct' garbage
its like a garbage man be offended because you didnt call him a 'solid waste specialist'
you speak badly abouit things like the kkk etc,...yet EVERYDAY there are things like ebony magazine, and the congressional black caucus, black entertainment tv.........see the hypocracy.....every time we STATUSFY something we cause a DIVISION

This is your opinion. It is not fact. Your remarks about Senators Helms and Thurmond are one-dimensional. They don't take into consideration the numerous other reasons why people may have voted for them besides racist reasons. If people had reasons besides race for voting for Obama, then people could certainly have reasons besides racial issues for voting for Senator Helms.

That because Ebony magazine, the black caucus and BET are not trying to supress Whites whereas the KKK and other White Pride groups are terrorist organizations that use their motto as a front to cover up their true intent of suppressing minorities. I'm sorry but the founders of Black Entertainment Television didn't have a documented history of lynching White people.

I'm really starting to think that you are the one that harbors a lot of hatred and racism. What does it matter to you if someone is racist or not? How does it affect YOUR life? How does it affect YOUR life if someone chooses to have a confederate flag?

Oh so you are saying that it's okay to vote for a racist as long as he has other admirable qualities. Sounds like the words of a true Southerner!

What about the Black Panthers and Black Nationalists? Are you black?
I fly my Confederate flag. And will til I die. I don't "fight" to fly it...I just fly it. And I don't give a rat's a$$ if some poor sensitive whiner is offended. Somebody's always offended about something in this overly sensitive cry-baby country. People don't care about my sensitivities (although I'll be the first to admit I don't really have any). I don't care about theirs. Get over it, put out your eyes, or just look at it.
