The state flags of a few southern states have a form of the confederate battle flag incorporated into their designs. Are you saying that you believe these states should change their state flags to purge any form of the confederacy from their flag designs?

I merely stated ... just because you can ... doesn’t mean you should.

To me ... the issue was resolved years ago when the Southern States lost their battle to secede from the Union. Again, IMO saying the Confederate flag is an important part of your heritage implies wishing the south had successfully seceded from the Union and not wanting to be a US citizen. Further ... harking to bygone days ... does that also include slavery? Women as chattel to men?

I am not saying I’m for purging anything ... but this whole southern way of life argument ... as it relates to the Confederate era ... seems archaic.
