Yes, you say it's your heritage, but maybe your heritage isn't as golden as you may think it was.
The Confederacy fought and died to preserve slavery. The Union fought and died to keep the country as a whole.
The Confederate flag itself is not racist, but the ideals and values behind it are. What about the flag of the Third Reich? Someone who grew up in Germany during the 1930s may say it's their heritage. Why can't they fly that then?
anyway, it's "heritage" |

| The Civil Rights movement would never have happened in the Confederacy. There was loads of backlash in the South when it was happening. |

| Where did you pull the civil rights movement out of your ass? I thought we were talking about the confederacy not later years I.E 1960. |

If you truly can't see the correlation I made between the Confederacy and the lingering ideals of racism in the south during the CRM then I think you need to put more thought into your replies.
Not saying that in a patronizing way, fyi |

You do know the Confederacy didn't leave all because of slaves.
It was a reason, but not all of it.

If you care about flags so much, how about loving the American flag (You know, the one with 13 stripes and 50 stars?)
We can't create a future if we keep holding on to the past.
