I agree that for most people today, the battle flag has nothing to do with race. However, it has everything to with treason.

It stands for a proud military heritage shared by both blacks and whites in the South.

I'm sorry, but to say that blacks somehow share in Confederate "military heritage" is just plain stupid.

A rather amazing conclusion, given that the Constitution nowhere prohibited State secession...
