The controversy over the display of the Confederate flag in the wake of the killing of nine black church members in Charleston, S.C., has reached the annual Union County Veterans Fourth of July Parade in Lewisburg.
The 18th North Carolina Co. A re-enactors have been asked not to display the Confederate flag if it marches, parade chairman Kevin Bittenbender said Friday. The parade is scheduled to step off at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The decision was made following a discussion by the parade committee's executive board, he said. He understands there will be some opposed to the decision, he said.

The sooner we start defying these pieces of human garbage, the sooner we get back to reality.
Actually the homos arent the actual problem. Their very white and very liberal straight supporters are. The 2% arent squat. The 30% are.
Spawn of Yankees weighing in here - ancestors on both parents’ sides were Irish bogtrotters who fought for the Union. Having said that...HOW RIDICULOUS CAN THIS GET???? Let the re-enactors display the flag that they actually would have carried. Unless this is from The Onion, I have no hope for this planet any more.
Confederate soldiers actually existed. The Confederate battle flag was actually carried into battle. We even have photographic evidence attesting to such. WHAT are these pantloads smoking?
We are now seeing the unintended consequences of the Confederate-flag-banning do-gooders. Wait, what was the “problem” they were attempting to solve?
Nothing unintended about it.
Cloward Piven.
This isn’t about north vs south. This is about the destruction of all of America.
If a people become too civilized to do what's necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they won't survive, and they don't deserve to survive.
No sign the collective hysteria is dying out.
You Knew It Was Only A Matter Of Time For This Insanity To Hit The Civil War Reenactor Crowd This Whole Thing Is Starting To Piss Me Off Grrrrrrr
How bout firing up the time machine and not fighting a Civil War at all. That would make them happier eh!
Sooo, the Confederate Army was just a figment of their imaginations & a mass hallucination? LOL Only the left could come up with this. For them, this is “normal”.
Cboldt- I like this.
Fairy tales and make believe.
Well then they should just encamp nearby and plant the flag at the camp site.
Those were the Confederate National Flags for the Confederate States of America as a nation. They were called in order, The Stars and Bars, The Stainless Banner, and the Third National.
The Battle Flags were a different story.
this is getting ridiculous
Then how about shirts versus skins? Homosexual judges and their followers will probably go after the color gray next.
No parade at all. No reenactments either. Bah humbug.
I have to get a razor to cut out all the Rebel flags from my civil war books. The scariest part of all this is idiots, mostly white, are falling all over each other to out do themselves with this Idiocy. It’s like Chairman Mao in his cultural revolution.
The reenactment that’s coming will not have rules.
Reeducation camps are for those who choose to go. For those who don't, they get to choose between the firing squad, the guillotine, or the gas chamber.
