re: The Confederate Flag...Time to Let It Go?

Its just a flag, and it's a part of American history. That is ALL it is, nothing more nothing less. It only becomes something more when you ascribe more to it than what it is.

If it's a symbol because the Klan used it, then by all rights you have to include the American flag with it as well, because they've used it just as much.


It will become a historical piece of cloth again when you stop worrying about it and putting it up as a symbol of racism. The real symbol of racism is the human heart, that which we would rather not fixate on since it's the real problem, not some damn piece of colored cloth waving on a flag pole or whatever.
