This claim is silly. And stupid. And ignorant.
While some people legitimately may not personally associate "the Confederate flag" with racism (and anyone with your location -- "Occupied Territory CSA" -- should know better than to speak of "the" Confederate flag), only a dolt would deny that it carries racist connotations for many, many people. True, the Confederacy may only have been around for 4 years, but in the years that followed the Klan and other white supremacist groups pretty much cemented the relationship between some Confederate flags and racism. Ditto any Southern legislature that added the Battle Flag to its state flag in the aftermath of
Brown v. Board of Education.
Why don't you just go back to dissing shanes and making inconsistent claims about your fraternity membership?
