Nico, you are an idiot. You are the one missing the point. The Confederate flag today is displayed as a symbol of rebellion against overbearing government, not of racism or slavery.

Beginning even before the Civil War was officially lost, pro-Confederate myth-makers began rewriting the real history to make it look like they were the victims, and not the perpetrators, of a war which cost hundreds of thousands of lives, North and South.

But the truth is, they were the perpetrators, and it's a Big Lie to pretend otherwise.
Those who know the facts are not going to look at the Confederate Battle Flag the same way you do.
