quote:the truth of the matter is two of your symbols both have CURRENT, ACTIVE, STRONGER associations to LARGER communities than the Confederate flag. The klan never took ownership of the message of the American flag or the cross, they had so little impact on those two symbols that no one but someone reaching for straws would even suggest so......
But the truth of the matter is that they all do associate.
However, they did have a very strong association with a defunct flag...that is just the facts.

Very true, but to be fair, a huge number of southerners also don't know very much about the flag itself or its history. It's just become a part of the culture, so they defend it. These are the same people that will argue until they're blue in the face that the Civil War wasn't about slavery.

quote:The Cross..... It is not a flag. It is a symbol of a religion and not of a nation. It is not cloth. Jesus didnt die wrapped in those flags..... anything else?
The Cross, the American flag, and the Confederate flag.
One of these is not like the other

Primarily it was about the right to own slaves.
