I don't' think it's fair that all these white people get to have flags and shite representing their "heritage". Black people don't get shite. We don't have flags to remind us of our ancestors. To us, a confederate flag means one thing; lynchings, segregation, etc
That's in essence the problem; the flag to different people means totally different things. When you see a confederate flag you remember your great great great grandfather who was a civil war vet or your great grandfather who started a business somewhere in the south that passed to your family. When I see a confedrate flag I think about someone in my family line getting the ever living shite beat out of them, or not being able to read or write or my great grandmother who was gang raped and beat almost to death to the point where she couldn't talk or speak anymore. It would be like having a swastika to remember your great grandfather who was in the Nazi party. While I respect that right, and I really do if you had a great grandfather in the third Reich, but was a good loving man to you and all that, it doesn't' mean that the swastika stands for hatred, evil and genocide, and has no right to be flown on public property.
TL:DR- frick your heritage
PS- Nazi's were fascists not communists. Two totally different things

I'm sorry that period was the only era one could attach a flag to their ancestry. I don't even want to count how many nations and new flags have been formed since the 1860s... but it is enough to say eat a dick with your shitty argument.

Have you ever researched your family history to know if that in fact ever took place in your lineage? Or are you letting emotions and hyperbole overtake common sense and assuming something that never happened in your family's lineage?
What would you think if you found out your great great great grandfather actually fought in one of the Confederate divisions?

No, it wouldn't. And to compare the Civil War to Nazi Germany is absolutely absurd. Slavery was bad, but it wasn't a drop in the bucket compared to Hitler trying to wipe a race out of existence, putting SIX MILLION Jews into camps to execute in mass.
