And not only that, this flag being used by the KKK, a group of people whose sole purpose was to preach white supremacy and condemn and kill other people for their skin color. If you're willing to accept that people will link you to those groups and think of you in those ways and refuse to back down on the issue, you truly must have no shame. If you are willing to defend the flag and its connotations, compare the American flag to the flag used more often than not to rally people for the hate-fueled murder of blacks, say you are proud to have Confederate ancestors - as I have seen in this thread - there are no words for you. ^^^

I cannot understand why anyone would support, condone, or affiliate themselves with a group of states that engaged in systematic oppression of African Americans, built its economy on the back of these people, and then fought to defend their right to these slaves.
