I'm not quite sure how to take your statement, however I am of Southern Cherokee descent and I do support the Confederate flag so perhaps you're right.
I think it boils down to -- human beings are just all the same. There's some intent to attach a romance to the American Indian--and this is nice enough as far as it goes. Hollywood has in recent years made lovable pacifists of Indians (Little Big Man) and what I consider more realistic portrayals-- Last of the Mohicans. Except for that club that Chingachook carried--it is a tool for crushing hickory nuts and walnuts. It was a hoot to see it hurled with this sticker on it as a weapon...
When I host liberals in my area, and they make their derision of the rebel flag display known, I always remeind them that those they sneer at are the descendents of a politically-protected ethnic group that relished the taking of federal scalps in the Civil War.
And, they don't know how to take that statement.
