Confederate Flag, Southern Heritage, Racism

For many Americans of Southern descent, the Confederate flag is a symbol of their heritage and a source of pride for their ancestors who fought and died in the Civil War.

For many Americans of African descent, the Confederate flag is a symbol of racial hatred, bigotry, and slavery.

Thanks to the KKK, the Confederate flag has been tarnished beyond repair and anyone who displays it is looked upon as racist. That gives me just another reason to despise those sorry, inbreed Klan bastards.

In this time of unchecked political correctness, the general consensus is to view the Confederate flag as a negative symbol, ignoring all the Civil War descendants who view it with pride.

To my African-American friends, neighbors and coworkers: please do not judge me when I fly the Confederate flag on Confederate Memorial Day, I am just honoring my forefathers who died in the war. It will come down the next day so I don't hurt your feelings.
