Just as colored people have their own symbols of pride, so do southerners.

NAACP Leaders Will Push Confederate Flag Issue
Cincinnati (AP) - NAACP leaders meeting in in Cincinnati say they will step
up their campaign against flying of the Confederate battle flag on state
grounds in South Carolina.
Dennis Courtland Hayes, interim president and CEO, said Monday at the civil
rights organization's national convention that action plans are in the works
and to stay tuned for details.
The NAACP and other critics call the rebel flag a symbol of slavery and
racism. Its defenders call it an emblem of Southern pride and heritage.
A 2000 compromise removed the flag from the Capitol dome in South Carolina.
It now flies on Statehouse grounds near the Confederate Soldier Monument.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has continued
a boycott of the state.

Yes, because slavery is a symbol of pride.
So, let's see, a pro-KKK article and a pro-slavery article in less than
10 minutes.
Hmmmm.....

This is probably long overdue. The Confederate Flag represents a sad |
chapter in American history and more Americans died in this war than any
other. What the point of celebrating the defeat the Confederacy by Union
forces?
Many Southerners don't even know that the flag they celebrate was not
even the real flag of the Confederate States. |

Oh, I agree. I like southerners marked with their loser
symbol to warn me away from them. Please wear big
confederate flags, front and back, to make sure that
I see you from across the street. |

Don't worry; we no more want to associate with your narrow minded and
uneducated type than you want to associate with us.
We most certainly appreciate you keeping your distance and wish more
of you would.

That isn't what it's about.

Many Southerners do in fact know that and do not see it as
representing slavery and as such can become a bit irritated at others
who do see it as a simple racist symbol.
However the KKK abused the flag, it has become firmly idenified with
their sickness and it's understandable that so many see it as being a
symbol of racism and Jim Crow.
And that offends many of us.
The links below are to sites about black confederates and of course
extreme caution has to be excercised when studying them because
revisionist histories can paint a dishonest picture of the various
reasons blacks, free and slave, fought for the South.
It's all very, very complicated.

Good. The Confederate battle flag is a symbol of racism, and has no place on
government property. |

It's funny but the same people who support wearing the Confederate |
Battle Flag want Obama to wear an American flag on his lapel. Do real
patriots display the confederate Battle Flag? Isn't it really an
anti-American symbol? |

"symbol of pride" What a load of shit.
The Confederate represents the losers, ignorant racism and misplaced
loyalties. It represents treason and should never be displayed by decent
people.
