Though a white racist may want to identify himself with the "old south" and the times when the white man ruled the world, using a Confederate flag as a means to that identity only shows the persons ignorance. Ignorance of history. Ignorance of fact.
Those who would demean the Confederate flag, who seek to remove it from sight along with our statues and monuments; those people are brethren to the racist. They are kin, bonded by their ignorance.

My statement implies that I have no rebel flag. Take all the exception you want. I was pointing out that the vision being concocted of me was incorrect that's all. No demeaning here. Are you trying to say that there are no redneck nimrods riding around with rebel flags?
