For the record, they weren't simply pressuring him to stop using the Rebel Flag (to my knowledge, he doesn't display it during concerts lately).

They wanted him to publicly denounce the flag.

That's some witch hunt/ISIS shite right there.

I'm proud of him for telling them to suck it.

I don't listen to KR much anymore, but you can bet your bottom dollar he's spent more time/money helping American military vets than Sharpton and his crew have ever done.

Those who would boycott Kid Rock aren't listening to him anyway, so... Why should he listen to them?

The answer to the question is contained in the question.

So why does someone from Detroit revere the Confederate flag so much other than to be edgy and appeal to his trashy base?

I haven't liked all his music but I agree with what he's saying

I read that he displayed it because he viewed himself as a rebel, and also as an homage of Southern Rock music.

He's already sold out atlanta (22k). He's also doing a brilliant tour this summer where he won't charge more than 20$ per ticket and every venue has to agree to sell beer half off what they normally charge.

It's almost like it's a REBEL flag and not a CONFEDERATE flag. How people still don't know which flag is which is crazy to me. I guess people like spewing bullshite out of their uninformed mouths.

Wasn't the dude in your avatar in a band that displayed the flag prominently?
