I understand some have co-opted the flag to be a sign of hate but that wasn't in any way it's original intent.

The Swastika was originally a Buddhist and Hindu religious symbol. Now anyone sees it they immediately think of the Nazi party. To the winners go the spoils and the south lost a war with the abomination of slavery as it's root cause, and they were on morally wrong side at that. Yeah it might mean Southern Pride to some but it represents way too much bad stuff to go along with it. You want to fly it that's fine that is your right, but don't start crying about heritage and unfairness when you get shite for it. Because yeah if it means southern pride to you and you ignore the other stuff your just being a stubborn a-hole at that point.

When i say "you" I am referring to people in general, Not the poster I responded to specifically.
