When I - and most people - see the flag, it reminds them of a time when people who looked like the Sons of Confederate Veterans could own people who looked like me.

This continues to astound me. I wonder if Jews, when they see the Egyptian pyramids, are reminded of their slavery and feel oppressed?

When I personally see Roman architecture (whether in Rome or anywhere else, such as Washington DC), I really don't feel reminded of the time when Romans held my ancestors (Germanic tribesmen) as slaves.

Sounds like a self-confidence problem to me.
