Or perhaps they started flying it out of rebellion, as I said before. People get sick of having black pride shoved down their throats. Every town in the United States doesnt need an MLK blvd. I get a little angry when somebody, as mentioned above, like Maynard Jackson gets his name put on the worlds busiest airport. The flags of the confederacy have become both a rallying point for southern pride and a flag to use in protest. I heard somebody mention a while back about how the NCAA is considering expanding a ban on championship sports in SC, because the flag makes black people uncomfortable. To be honest, walking through underground Atlanta and having black power stuff everywhere doesnt make me comfortable, but I have to live with it. Having to drive through an urban public housing district known for violence doenst make me feel very welcome either, but I'm not trying to get the government to burn them down. Those flags are part of our history. They arent put up for black people, they're put up for us. Much of black culture isnt for whites either.
Also, to the PKP person, absolutely God bless this country. I hope God also continues to bless the south and the southern way of life. Thankfully this is part of the country that still encourages kindness, responsibility, family, and faith in God.
