The Confederate Flag

[WalterMitty]

im ashamed that conservatives in south carolina dont have the political balls to stand up and say the confederate flag needs to come down from the statehouse in columbia.

it shouldnt be banned, of course.  however, it is a very divisive symbol.  you cant move forward by constantly looking back.

im not selling out my homeland.  i just think the south needs to move forward and leave divisive symbols behind.

if 25%+ of your state's population is offended by the flying of the flag, then by all means, it should be taken down.

now here in nc there are some school districts that are having problems with students wearing confederate flag t-shirts.  im a southerner and i can say ive never had an urge to purchase or wear a shirt displaying the confederate flag.

i can think of reasons why someone would want to wear a confederate flag shirt, unfortunately, i can think of no positive reasons.

individuals have a right to fly any flag they want.  i was talking about the state flying it.
