Here's the gist of it: A flag is under attack. Those who fly it are labeled racists for doing so. Those attacking us and the flag we fly proudly are racially driven. While a very small percentage of those who defend this flag may be racists, the vast majority are not. The entire lot of those...

It's a battle flag the confederate army flew in battle. It NEVER represented hate, bigotry, or racism until a few racists hijacked it much later in history. The civil war was fought over a great deal more than slavery. Your focus is in THAT aspect because YOU are racially motivated. The entire...

History is written by the victors - Churchill The flag never represented hate, racism, or bigotry. That didn't come until much later when a few racists hijacked this symbol representing the fighting spirit if the south. Fact: It was a battle flag, not a hate flag. You people are giving racist...

Those who fought and died for the south are being shamed, and it seems the hope is permanency. Slavery was certainly part of southern history, but so it was also with the much of the north. A very small percentage of southerners ever owned slaves. We're taking less than 7%, yet a far greater...

Of course not. You've made up your mind already. I take pride in warm southern hospitality, hard work, living off the land, and the fighting spirit of the south. Standing in defiance of those who would try to strip southerner's of pride and shame the south for something that is long dead and...

I'm a southerner. I don't hate. I don't sponge and I have no desire to leave the South. Abraham Lincoln respond this way when asked, "Why not let the South go in peace"? He responded "I can't let them go. Who would pay for the government?…

I'm offended by the broad brushing and by those who demand the confederate flag be a symbol of hate and racism. It wasn't at its inception and it isn't now to most southerner's. It's a battle flag symbolizing southern pride. Only those who focus on fear, race, and bigotry view this flag in a...

When it comes to southern pride and the flag that represents the fighting spirit of the south, the racist few are given credence over the rest. Yes, slavery was a part of southern history, but then racial profiling, unfair and unequal wages for woman, and a host of other injustices still...

To deem the confederate flag a symbol of bigoted hate nationwide because of a very tiny few who have used it to that end is shameful. It does little more than honor those few who hate and invalidate the many who don't. This nation is taking a symbol of southern pride and are handing it over to...

I'm sorry, you must have mistaken me for someone else. You don't know me or my motivations. What freebies exactly? I love my country. I'm a proud American and southerner. I support same sex marriage, I support flying the confederate battle flag and old glory. I'm not a racist, I don't...

Agreed, but lets be honest here. Hate, racial tensions, discrimination, and division are prevalent in this nation. We're divided still. Make no mistake about it. Guns, flags, love, religion, and God are being attacked by our own countrymen. We're FAR from being united. Don't think for a minute...

It never truly ended. Divided still to this day due to hate, intolerance, and the pursuit to stifle certain cultures - America is not yet made the leap to one nation, we're far from being united, but are rather at war with our own countrymen. When and how can this end when flags, love, god, and...

If you're lazy don't even bother. Those willing to take the time to read and comprehend, you're the audience I'm looking for. Just a heads up.

The few who use the confederate flag as a symbol of hate are being honored unwittingly by those who attack and demonize it. On one hand this nation has honored love with a recent supreme court ruling, on the other hand, hate filled racists have been honored by giving them a flag to call their...
