Quoted from vid1900:The Confederate Flag was first flown at the SC Statehouse in 1961 as a big Fnck You to the federal government when the feds said SC would have to allow black students to attend white schools.
So, clearly it's not some 120 year old Southern tradition.
It's a recent symbol of not wanting to allow black people to attain equal rights.
You're mixing what the flag at the SC capital symbolizes and what the flag itself represents. For many, many folks in the South it simply symbolizes Southern pride. Period.
Quoted from vid1900:I was raised in the South, and it only means one thing.
There are plenty of Black people who are proud to be Southern, but you don't see them waving Confederate flags.
Umm, maybe you should google the thousands and thousands of pictures of black people (numerous celebrities) sporting the flag. Apparently they didn't get the memo.
