Let's recap where we agree and disagree. We both believe that slavery was wrong. I was surprised to find a few on this thread who are ambivalent about that. I find the Confederate flag to symbolize either continued support for slavery or secessionism. You disagree on the former point; you may agree with the second point, and like Colt .45, say essentially "so what." "Freedom from oppression"??? The "oppression," if there was any, was during Reconstruction. There was no oppression before the Civil War; just a democratic (small d) process that favored the North over the South. The radical Reconstructionists were not very adept at politics; but the greater shame is that the North abandoned Reconstruction and permitted Jim Crow. As for you being a "person of color," that is neither here nor there. If you want to find out what the majority of black people think, I dare you to go to Harlem or South Central with a rebel flag draped on your shoulders.
