I would like people to have the option to indicate how exactly fricking stupid, backwards and racist they are.
Wars aren't fought by 'good guys' against 'bad guys'. 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.
Would I get one for my car? Hell no. But let's not throw too many stones at the descendants of those that died in a preventable and tragic war some 150 years ago.

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.

The flag was co-opted by racists.
the issue is not with honoring history. I am fine with you doing it, I don't care what you wear, or what you put on your car. Its your property, its your right. But what you choose to show says something about yourself. If I see a confederate flag, I can say with almost certitude that you are racist.
If you want to honor your fallen fathers, I suggest a different symbol or flag. Gay no longer means happy. You can no longer buy a bowl of soup for a nickel. And racists own the rebel flag.
