Sup peps. I was born and raised in NYC. The friends I made in the navy either came from north east or cali so we are not use to seeing the confederate flag all the time except in history books and kkk demonstrations. All of us white, black, asian, whatever all belive that the confederate flag is just as offensive as the nazi flag, it's like saying that the nazi flag just represented a political party and not a hate group. The kkk use to fly the confederate flag, and that's what comes to our minds when we see that flag. You talk to my grandparents who come from the south and they all agree what that flag represents oppression of a people, the south rallied behind that flag to preserve their way of life, which depended on the enslavement of my ancestors. In our book there is no way to justify that, please find another way to express your southern pride other than clinging to a symbol of oppression.
