What on earth does Maryland's stance on slavery have to do with any of this? I've lived on this earth for 34 years and have yet to meet somebody waving a confederate flag who showed an ability to accept any intelligent, kind human as an equal regardless of color. Sure some folks don't put the flag in their front yard and you don't hear hateful racial slurs in their day to day conversations but get behind closed doors with them, say in a poker game or at the golf course and lo and behold the hatred spews out like a budweiser keg with a hole in the side of it!

Am i the only person here who associates the confederate flag with ignorant bigots? Is everyone else here living in some alternate universe where rebel flag waving dimwits actually despise bigotry in all it's forms and admonish their children to avoid associating with people who use terms like n****r or spook or k*** in normal conversation?

I call it like i see it guys and what i see is ugly.
