Most of the idiots who fly that flag today are retards who don't even know what it is- and isn't. Many of them think it was the flag of the CSA
Funny.
Back approximately 10 years ago there was this huge bruh-haha in Georgia about removing the stars and bars from the state flag. All the ignoramuses were screaming about "heritage". When it was pointed out to them that the stars and bars were never a battle flag the Georgia contingent in the CSA, they really had no answer. Neither did they have an answer as to why it took approximately 90 years after the civil war to adopt it as part of the state flag. Nor did they have an answer as to why, if it was about heritage, they were just as opposed to the pre 1956 version.
I remember that and it was funny. Then I remember the meltdown from that faction when Perdue didn't do as they claimed he promised, put the flag up for a referendum. They vowed that he would lose re-election in a landslide and well all know how that worked out.
But there is absolutely nothing racist about people displaying it in reference to Civil War relatives or Southern Heritage and Agricultural advancements.
