Do upper middle class, or upper class whites not share the same sentiment about the flag


If we are being honest states didn't start adding it to state flags during 50s.

I don't have a problem with it being used in an historical sense aka all the flags flown over this city or state. I would never hang it in my garage because most people seeing it would get a message I am not interested in sending.

Also I am from Louisiana not the south.

No loyalty to the rebel flag and if Whit liberals are confidence minorities don't like it take it down is fine not worth a fight.

I do fear how quickly we hide history vs using it as a conversation starter

Most people on either side loose site of this.
Georgia added confederate flag in 1956. SC added it to state house in 1961. Both of these should have been changed/taken down.
Mississippi adopted flag in 1894. They should keep it. It fits state history more than changing the flag during the height of civil rights.
