FIne! Displaying the Confederate flag is racist.
Now what? Is racism gone if the flag isn't being displayed?
Quit treating symptoms, and start curing the ailement.
you have to start somewhere... hey isn't it the new rethuglican mantra to "bring back SHAME" ?
ooopsy daisy!
Start by addressing root causes, rather than flailing away at inanimate objects like spoiled brat who isn't getting her way.
In my opinion, a root cause is still racism. Regardless that many a brave men died in defense of the rich southern aristocrat the flag has come to symbolize slavery and racism. Why else would northern rednecks display the flag of southern aggression? So let's start small, remove the confederate battle flag from state owned property. I am not even sure what is the legitimate bitch. If this were the flag of Mexico I am sure there would be a whole lot of bitchin' if flown in a similar manner. Yes, I know that the lost causers want to have their way and force their view of the past on everyone, well have at it fly the flag at you home, no problem. But public property belongs to everyone, so remove the flag.
