“All-white fraternities” with confederate flags buried in their flags?

Yet we always hear about the South having become better about race than the North.

Why is the Confederate Flag considered to be prima facie evidence of racism? Because Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson say it is? When did they become the arbiters of American symbology?

The Confederate Flag (as if there was only one) represents the Confederacy, no more, no less. That some paranoics construe it as a racist symbol creates no universal obligation to recognize it as such.

I’m about as upset about that as I am about the all-black fraternities or all-Jewish fraternities.
