If I see a confederate flag, I can say with almost certitude that you are racist.

And how is the US Flag perceived by those who may feel they were done injury under it? The Japanese Americans in internment camps thinking they were singled out for their race, or the American Indian Tribes who had their land stolen from them, or the blacks who were made to endure segregation well after the Civil War in the North and South, and prevented from immigrating up North in certain areas under that same flag. Well, maybe not the blacks, because they have have been told by the Good Americans to identify the battle flag of the Confederacy as their symbol of hate. Because of course, when you break all of this down to a mother goose fairy tale or heroic struggle on the part of the knight in shining armor trying to rid the world of evil instead of simply keep the nation together, you get silly reasoning where all things are never considered because they aren't presented in the same damning light. We've simply rewritten our own version of history today in order to deem one evil, the other noble, and one sharing the Brunt of the blame while the other gets a free pass, and even hero status. It's nothing short of appalling the manner in which some people shirk the responsibility for their own sins while placing the blame on others and a flag.
