The flag it is symbol of the south, a symbol of a country that once existed, although not always right but did exist, The war was about much more than just slavery, it was also about state rights. It was about democracy. All flags could be looked to many things such as genocide and etc, but yet we do not ask them for to be removed. I make these points for all, those who think and proudly fly it for the reson thinking it means supression.....is wrong. The Flag gave state rights. It gave us understanding of oursevles, a voice. As I am gay, I know in some odd way, and being from the south, and dated other race, I am diverse but yet the flag stood from an error gone bye but yet it is history and should not be forgotten? (once we forget history we could make the same mistake) So the southern cross although misused at times, should be condemed for the misuse of an object of history. It is up to all of us black, white, gay, straight, any religion to tolerate, love, educate and except.
