You only look at things through your point of view. Was slavery and everything that went along with bad, you bet it was. I know you mentioned you had a gr grandfather that was a slave. I am truly sorry about that, irregardless if you think I don't. But no matter how bad the past was, at some point one must move on. You see the flag as a symbol of slavery, others don't. Whether or not that flag flies, it will not change history. History is was it is, history. We can't change it, but we can learn it.
