There is a lot of arguing about points that don't matter here. The confederate flag should be no more offensive than the flag that flew and allowed slavery for the 100 years prior to the civil war. The confederate flag should have been removed after the war, and not because of slavery, but because the war was decided. The fact that it's being done 130 years later is silly.
A flag is hurtful to people because some jack arse has it and shoots up a church? You know what, it's hurtful to me when a black guy shoots a white person. Not because of race, but because people are killing one another.
It's 2015, time to stop being upset that a white person kills a black person, be upset that your fellow man is taking the lives of others.

That cuts both ways. People's first reaction to the Charleston shooting shouldn't have been "Oh great, SJWs are about to make this into a race war."
Check this out, first page and that's what some people are worried about. They suck just as much as the people that go out trying to make this a racial issue.

Answer this...when did the confederate flag make a big comeback in the south. Before a certain period after the Civil War you didn't see it displayed that much by locals or state govts. Then come a certain time period, the flag was put up in South Carolina, put on the Georgia flag, etc. Why was that?? Then you'd see people waiving the flag at rally's, had the flag on their cars,etc.
Before a certain time period nobody was proudly displaying the confederate flag.....I have family in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas that grew up from the 30's til present day...they'll tell you when the confederate flag became popular among a certain segment of the population.....but it's not about hate.lmao.
Also they need to look up why the current confederate battle flag was changed to it's form today from the original one. Read about what the man that designed/made it said about blacks and yankees. And what that flag stood for and symbolized.
All these people down south don't even know the damn history behind the current one and why it was so popular during a certain time period waaaay after the civil war. But it's heritage.
