Oh, so it was a great place to live when blacks could be owned and lynched at the whim of their owners?
It was a great place to live when women were virtually property, and could be beaten by the husband without any repercussions?
When anyone who was not a white male was a second-class citizen at best, and an animal at worst?
Yeah, if that is what you think the flag stands for, you are a greater disgrace to it than those who burn it.
It was a great place when people KNEW their place and accepted it, whether they liked it or not. BTW - it was only white LAND OWNING males who had any power. Which would make me just as powerless as anyone else, since I don't own property and don't want to. I find it far more disgraceful that this nation has moved so far from those original ideals, but to each their own, I guess.
Sorry to inform you you, but "their place" is equality.
