Indeed I did acknowledge it. As I said previously, some democrat/nationalistic socialist created hate groups hijacked that flag for a period in the mid 20th century. They were the few and the minority. The vast majority of southerners did not support those groups and thus cannot be blamed for the actions of the few. If you want to ban flags then you must ban all of them, including the Stars and Stripes because slavery existed much longer under that flag. With that being said it's ridiculous because slavery was a worldwide phenomenon that has touched nearly every race since humanity existed and was ended 160 years ago in America. No one in modern times has endured slavery in the USA and it is now being used as a political weapon to silence those who oppose the demorat agenda, indeed of all political parties, the democrats themselves are the ones who perpetuated the hate. It was the republicans who ended slavery AND overwhelmingly voted to pass the civil rights act in the 60's which the majority of democrats at that time vehemently opposed . Today they are despicably using it for political gain AND hiding their own involvement in the perpetuation of hate. They are using race division tactics to divide this nation in their twisted thought that they can further the advancement of centralized federal government power over the people. Far too many due to apathy, ignorance, or just flat out hate cannot recognize that fact and in fact will give up all their INDIVIDUAL rights for the sake of political correctness. The Confederate battleflag today, as it was in the 19th century, is a symbol of rebellion against the federal government's overreaching, overbearing power and that is why the socialist democrats and the establishment now want it's elimination and they are USING certain folks to achieve that goal...but is either unable or unwilling to acknowledge that the Confederate flag embodies some of the most despicable and hateful thoughts in this country's history. If it's the latter, then it is in fact willful ignorance.
Now I'm done with this thread because I'm quite bored with the redundancy...
