Male Bovine Fecal Effluvia. The Stars and Bars is a symbol of honor and valor.

It's the PC brigades such as the NAASomeCP that have bastardized it and tried to change the meaning.

It's the PC brigades such as the NAASomeCP that have bastardized it and tried to change the meaning.

The Confederate battle flag [CBF] was first politicized, then bastardized by Southern segregationists and their minions in the Invisible Empire starting in the 1940s. It was represented for decades as a symbol of segregation, racism, and defiance toward civil rights for black Americans. With nary a peep from the so-called heritage preservation groups of that era.

Placed in that context it doesn't seem too difficult to understand why black political groups in the South have a problem with the CBF being displayed in public places. One is tempted to say " ya'll made yer own bed, now sleep in it".
