Answer 1

Political Correctness will soon have them all down

Answer 2

You are mistaken about Arkansas, at least if you are suggesting that its state flag includes or mimics any "Confederate flags".

The Confederate flag you probably have in mind is the battle flag of the Army of North Virginia.

To see which of the Southern states has any relationship to this flag, see the current collection of state flags:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_U.S._states

Note that the only state to have an unquestionable connection to the ANV flag is that of the state of Mississsippi.

It does appear, however, that the ANV flag had at least SOME influence on the flags of Florida and Alabama, although neither of the states describes their flags as such, and the red cross they use has a long history as "Saint Andrew's Cross".

Of course, you might also consider South Carolina's current flag--adopted in 1861 when the state declared itself the "Republic of South Carolina"-- to be a "Confederate" or "secession" flag... though it bears no visible relation to the widely known Confederate flags (such as the ANV and 'Stars & Bars') and I doubt many people know or think of the flags origins in connection with the Confederate cause.

Answer 3

Missipissippi's flag includes the confederate battle flag and the stars and bars

Answer 4

Stars and Bars forever... I don't see anything wrong with flying the Confederate Flag... just so long as it's BIG enough to be seen from the next county.

Answer 5

I am pretty sure South Carolina does. In my opinion that is just one too many. Outdated isn't even the word..how about it is just a blatant reminder of the actions that took place in history at the hands of white people. It is absoulutely ridiculous. I know the NAACP has some type of boycott going in with the economy in South Carolina...Good for them..maybe they ought to try that in Arkansas and wherever else they fly that stupid flag!

Answer 6

The "Stars and Bars" became into no longer the national flag of the accomplice States of united statesa.. It became into in basic terms a conflict banner. at present, it represents Southern history, and distinctive Southerners proudly demonstrate it to coach their satisfaction in being from the South - alongside with me and my spouse. fairly, consequently of my proud Southern upbringing, you may desire to be greatly surprised to hearken to that at present there is fairly extra racism up North than down South. traditionally, from the days while there have been slaves interior the South, by Reconstruction and the Jim Crow days, blacks and whites nevertheless worked ingredient with the help of ingredient on a each and daily foundation. i will enable you recognize this lots: the two my spouse and that i grew up in Texas. i'm white, she is black and we've 2 bi-racial little ones. We by no ability heard one racist remark approximately our being jointly until we moved up North.
