If it's important to me, I'll find a way a to express myself that doesn't simultaneously offend those who live around me -- such as by occasionally flying a flag (I fly different kinds of flags all the time) that carries the same (or more) meaning for me but that doesn't come with all of the baggage and connotations of "the Confederate flag."

That neighbor was being an asshole.
I have much love for the Black Panther Party. I wouldn't display flags and symbols for the BPP in our cul de sac community in which we are the only Black family. Those white neighbors do not want to hear about the history and the relevance of the BPP. Those white neighbors would contact HOA and would stop having cul de sac cookouts. LOL.
