“I do wonder, however, why the loyal Sons of the South let it be continually co-opted and defiled by the racists and neo-gnatzi boobs.”
How do you propose that this be stopped?
In all fairness the average Southern supporter is no more responsible for the misuse of the confederate flag by hate groups as the average Christian is for the misuse of the cross by those same people.
The same way you'd stop the defiling of any symbol you hold precious. Say, burning the Holy Cross on someone's lawn, for example.

The "loyal Sons of the South" have done no such thing. OTOH The race industry has with the help of the MSM. Of course some people will believe anything if the MSM and/or our liberal education system says it is so.
