Definitely Ditto.
If you will say "I don't get it" no matter how much it is explained to you, you either (1) are not listening; (2) refuse to hear; or (3) have massive brain farts. People should learn to "get it" while disagreeing with it. You cannot disagree with it if you do not "get it."
And, as with many topics, this isn't a Southerner vs. nonSoutherner topic even when making generalizations. Just as there are nonSoutherners who "get it" and/or sport the Confederate symbols, there are Southerners who do not "get it" and/or do not sport the Confederate symbols.
