Like New Hampshire's or the Colonial flag, I see the the Confederate flag as a symbol of revolution . . . a revolution testing the principles and forgiveness of a new Republic.
To see it solely as a racist symbol, to me, is myopic and dangerous.
An old white man dressed as a plantation owner hawking chicken is far more offensive to me.
Like Aunt Jemima without a bandana.
There were far more whites who didn't own slaves, in the South, than slave owners.
I wonder what they were fighting for?
