I think most people who think about the confederate flag are more thinking about history than racism.



The history of the flag is racism. I don't think you can separate the two, if you truly know the history of the flag and its uses by different factions.

The flag doesn't offend me, but it has no place in or on government buildings.

The flag as a symbol was hijacked by hate groups long ago. It hasn't represented the sacrifice of southern Soldiers in at least two generations.
