You know, this is news only if you held the mistaken belief that the Confederate flags were displayed as symbols of hate. To me, this article provides proof that it is used as a symbol of heritage. An attack on buildings in New York would NOT cause a Southerner filled with hate to suddenly begin supporting America. That shows that it has never been about hate and that we do love our country. What we don't like is people looking down on us and telling us how to live our lives or run our states.

..."Confederate flags were displayed as symbols of hate."

Those people need to take a look at pictures taken I have seen of KKK rallies when they were at their apex (early 20th century).

Can you guess what flag they were flying?

Hint: NOT the Confederate battle flag... or any other CSA flag.
