What do you think of the Confederate flag?

It's a big part of US history. Then again lots of people see it as being offensive.
So what do you think?

I think it would be a huge slap in the face to tell people they can't hang that flag up if that's how they choose to express themselves, because of this one 21 year old. My thoughts on the cloth itself is irrelevant, hang it if you want, don't if you don't. That piece of cloth only has as much power as people give it, be offended, then it means something. Don't be offended, it's nothing more then cloth.

It's a symbol of treason, racism, and slavery. Symbols are powerful. Having the confederate flag flying at the state capitol in SC is equitable to a Nazi flag flying at the Bundestag.

That doesn't mean you are using it with that intent. The nazi symbol was used 5000 years before hitler for different reasons, that's not what the symbol MEANS, that's what the symbol was used for by one group of people, while others used it for other reasons, but people attach it to one thing.
Someone waving that flag doesn't mean they're racist just because you attach a racist stigma to it. Even if people don't like it, they have the freedom to wave it around if they want.

Don't really care one way or the other. It's just a flag. I don't really care about the American flag one way or another either.
When I hear about some uproar over a flag (flying a certain flag, a certain flag being "desecrated") all I can think is "Are you people fucking serious?"

Same thing but instead of burning it's waving it. If you want to wave it around, go ahead, if not, don't. Because freedom.

The south shall rise again!!!!
There's a ton of people in the south that seriously believe that the civil war ain't over yet. That there will be a round two of north v south. I would ask them What about the west when I lived in NC. That always threw them for a loop. Then I would continue to start shit by asking, what about Alaska and Hawaii. Technically Hawaii is our southern most state, but what are they gonna contribute really? And how would they? They are an ocean away.
The. They would start talking about Jesus or some other bullshit, it was pretty funny.

It's flying over a memorial for dead confederate soldiers, not over the capital anymore.
