    Nobody is flying a Confederate flag. I have never seen anyone fly a confederate flag.

        Who has ever flown the Confederate flag? Or are you just ignorant of history and think the battle flag is THE confederate flag? You never disappoint in how little you know.

        Southerners fly it for Southern pride. It’s been a thing for a very long time. I don’t get it but it isn’t my flag.

          I’ve already explained this to you. It seems beyond your abilities to understand, but I’ll give you one more chance.

          Yes, it is technically just a battle flag. But that’s not how it’s used, that’s not what it CURRENTLY represents. The meanings of things can change and have changed. Shocking I know.

          Said flag now represents the confederacy, who’s proposed was to protect the institution of slavery.

          Racist republicans are quite ok with that though, because they always have the excuse that it’s their heritage or southern pride or some other bullshit excuse for their blatant support for racism.

          Southerners fly it for Southern pride.

          Yeah, and people fly nazi flags because they’re just trying to represent their German heritage. Get a grip.
