“Personally I don’t have a problem with them as an organization or the Confederate flag.”
That’s mighty white of you.

It is supposedly a free country. They can do what they want.
It was might white of the United States to put an end to slavery in this country at the expense of the lives of hundreds of white soldiers. Too bad the Blacks and Muslims in Africa and the Middle East never got around to ending slavery in their neck of the woods.
Not funny.
I look on the Confederate flag as a symbol of treason and separation. We have one flag- The Stars and Stripes. The flag our soldiers have fought under to vanquish tyranny around the world time and again and it is the flag our men and women serve under today. It sure as hell isn’t the flag being raised on Mt. Surabachi. Do I think slavery was racist? No. I see it as the forced enslavement of people as a source of servitude and hard labor with no compensation save being keep alive and feed long enough to produce work and the ever present threat of capricious punishment and the threat of being sold off to some other slave owner. Slavery was not only confined to blacks. Through out history people of all races have been enslaved. The simple fact is the North went to war to preserve the Union and won. The South went to war to preserve slavery and lost everything.
