re: Is it wrong to have your photo taken in front of Old Glory or Confederate flag? (long)

No you are wrong. Poor southern whites died for wealthy English heirs (and some French) because they were manipulated into it. And most modern day folks don't understand that. But the poor people who have been taken advantage of have pride mister. You could even see it in the Army when I served. When they wanted something done it was the kids from the south who stepped up and never complained like the northern boys.

The flag is a symbol of pride and frankly a poor one but it's something something tangible to hang onto. Has zero to do with race, their greats served and they are honoring that. Taken in the context of how southern poor whites have been treated and still are the only folks in America who can be disrespected with impunity it is little enough.
