My great-great grandfather was a Confederate soldier; fought at Shiloh. A Tennessean. I’m almost 69. - I don’t want to hurt any fellow citizen’s feelings if I can help it. The Confederate flag should not be on government property (paid for by all taxpayers, including black people). However, PRIVATE property & Confederate memorials (paid for by private citizens) are a different story.

I believe it does have a place at monuments and museums. It is a part of our cultural heritage. And private property, public events for specific celebrations it should certainly fly high. Blacks fought under that flag, too.

Wrong. The Confederate flag should be on Government property, which is where many confederate memorials are.
