When I learned the history of this MS flag I pretty much came to that conclusion. I have known rural southern blacks who identify with the rebel battle flag because for them being a Southerner is key to their self-identity. I personally dont get the regionalism.
Native Californians werent wrapping themselves in whatever version there was of the CA flag. When I left we were more likely to see the Mexican flag or a rainbow flag than anything state related
Yeah but which flag is actively banned? Seems some people are entitled to their culture but others are denied.
