Then perhaps you are offended by the American flag. For slaves were bought and sold under that flag long before the Confederate flag.

I never even said I was offended by the confederate flag. I said it was a provocative flag. C'mon - anyone here can see that it is provocative. If it was provocative in some fashion these conversations would never happen.

That should have read WASN'T ... if it wasn't provocative we would never have conversations like this about it.

“If it was provocative in some fashion these conversations would never happen.”

And they wouldn’t happen if “conservatives” like you didn’t bring them in here...intentionally.
