sorry mods. I see there is a thread on this already, you can delete or merge at your wish

The underlying consideration is context. Given its divisive symbolism, the Confederate flag should not be a part of official governmental activities. However, it represents an important part of American history and should be acknowledged as such. Individuals and private businesses should be free to make their own decisions about the appropriateness of displaying this flag.

Only half of the story. I didn't expect you to go the entire distance, it's too hard for you.


"Removing Confederate flags from government property that is not part of a museum

All Americans 55% yes 43% no 2% undecided
Blacks 73% yes 24% no 2% undecided
Whites 50% yes 47% no 2% undecided"

And THAT's the actual issue.

You didn't show the information very well.
If black folks see it as racist, then guess what?
It is.
They are the targets of said racism after all, so they should know.


CNN poll shows majority views Rebel flag as symbol of Southern heritage Political Insider blog


The poll shows that 57% of Americans see the flag more as a symbol of Southern pride than as a symbol of racism, about the same as in 2000 when 59% said they viewed it as a symbol of pride. Opinions of the flag are sharply divided by race, and among whites, views are split by education.

Among African-Americans, 72% see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism, just 25% of whites agree. In the South, the racial divide is even broader. While 75% of Southern whites describe the flag as a symbol of pride and 18% call it a symbol of racism, those figures are almost exactly reversed among Southern African-Americans, with just 11% seeing it as a sign of pride and 75% viewing it as a symbol of racism.

Among whites, there’s a sharp divide by education, and those with more formal education are less apt to see the flag as a symbol of pride. Among whites with a college degree, 51% say it’s a symbol of pride, 41% one of racism. Among those whites who do not have a college degree, 73% say it’s a sign of Southern pride, 18% racism.
