The Confederate flag doesn't stand for white supremacy any more than the original stars-and-stripes (y'know, the stars in a circle) stood for slavery. 'Cause they had slaves all over the union in 1776....
I disagree.
The Confederate Flag is a symbol of the South's fight to keep slavery legal.
To whom? To you, and a whole brigade of left-wingers looking for things they can claim are "offensive"?
Let's say some right-wingers claim they're offended by the rainbow flag. Shouldn't their "offense" be just as legislatively worthy?
Frankly, flags don't bother me. Actions bother me. But the left thinks that symbols are the same as actions. And that's why the left is wrong.
