Honest question. Because if you HONESTLY think that's why it's flown down here, then shame on you for being so ignorant about the South.

No, I believe that's why the majority of people in the
North (who have no ties to the South or the Confederacy) fly the rebel flag. I have no idea why people in the South do it.
And everything in winter's post above. So if she's skewed, I'm skewed too. It seems like in the last 2 decades or so, people from the rural areas around here seem to want to wallow in the worst stereotypes of it, whereas before they aspired to something better. There's a difference between being proud of where you're from and acting like it gives you a license to be an uneducated ignoramus.
