I'm not denying that. But those aren't the reasons being purported - they always go back to the Confederacy and slavery as the reasoning - NOT that the symbol has been co-opted.

So, why can't we play the same card the Muslims play? "The flag has been hijacked. We don't endorse the flag as a symbol of racism and white supremacy." Why doesn't that work?
