Speaking as a lifelong Californian, I see a great dichotomy in the perception of the Confederate Flag between White and Black Americans. For my Black friends, it seems to be a symbol of slavery, segregation, discrimination and racism. For my White friends, it is a symbol of Civil War military battles, moonshine and backwoods shenanigans a la the Dukes of Hazard.
I wonder if these divergent views will ever be reconciled.
Oh, Confederate Republicans and African Americans see the flag the same way. Just from opposite sides. Republicans try to take credit for what Republicans did before most of the conservatives left the then conservative Democratic Party in the middle 60's and swelled the ranks of the Republican Party. It's why the KKK and the Aryan Nation see themselves as Republicans. The Republican Party is at least 90% white. It's why they celebrate "Confederate Day or Month" in many southern states. It's why Republicans throw peanuts at a black camera women. Why shirts pop up in Romney rallies saying things like "Put WHITE back in the WHITE House".
Another one that has no idea what the Klan and Aryan Nations is about....why don't you try talking to some of them...they hate both parties...which is why White Nationalists have their own party now.
Give me a break. Go to their side. Sounds like Republicans to me.
