AGREED.
I don't understand why people say it represents Southern pride. What, that you're proud your region fought to keep slavery legal?
Even if it *did* represent Southern pride, it doesn't anymore. The swastika was used for tons of things before the Nazis took it... so does that mean it's okay to use? No, it's become a hateful symbol in today's culture.
The Confederate Flag is pointless and racist. If people want to fly it, fine, but I'm going to assume that they're a bigot, because that's what it means to me (and many other people).
PS: We're all Americans -- why try to seperate yourselves because you're from the South? Does that make you better than everyone else? I mean, I don't have a flag of California hanging on my wall.
