Ummmm...I hate to rain on your parade but this whole confederate flag thing in the south has been and still is a class issue.

That's riduculous. Pride in Southern Heritage crosses all class boundries. You can see Confederate flags on every vehicle from rusted out pickups to five figure SUV's, and from small houses to large multi-story mansions. It's not a "class" thing, it's a way of life.

Is that why 40% of black folks in Mississippi voted to keep the confederate flag flying at the state capitol?

They voted that way because they have family who fought valiently in that war as well.

Deo Vindice.

You're absolutely right.

A very familiar sight around one Southern city is a Mercedes-Benz S-560 with single digit South Carolina Judiciary plates and a Stars and Bars bumper sticker. That particular judge is from one of South Carolina's oldest and most respected families.

People who live there know exactly who I'm talking about.
