I meant your post was bigoted, tearing up flags, that is beyond disrespect for others.

The same could be said for the display of the flag, given its historical usage and connotations.

But to many it does not mean disrespect, but you basically said "rip it up and burn it", big difference.

And to many, my advocating ripping it up and burning it does not mean disrespect. It may mean justice.

I would really like to know what "crime" a small piece of cloth has committed against you..

I only used "justice" as a possible example.

I am not personally affected by the flag, but I can see why others would be.

I agree the Confederate flag should be ripped up & torn down and some day when all the racists are dead the flag will be considered a bad as the Nazi flag!
