As a transplanted yankee, born and raised in the North,I understand your attitude, and I hope you can come to understand what the South considers the extremely offensive and naked hypocracy of the North.
This country endured a viscious and brutal civil war.The death toll was huge, on both sides.The actual battlefields were primarily located in the Southern states, who did indeed lose that war.Northern women were not brutally raped by invading soldiers.Northern homes were not burned to the ground.Northern landowners were not summarily deprived of family owned property.Northerners did not endure the decades of poverty and subjugation and the attempt of the "victors" to completely erradicate a society.
After all these years, one would think the North would get over their pride of victory and attempt to deal honestly with history and reality.
BTW, speaking historically on behalf of my Sioux ancestors,why dont you all get off my lands, and take your slaves with you?LOL!
Or am I, and my people, not an equally deserving minority who obviously would be mortally offended by the sight of a particular flag?
Stupid PC Barf alert.I get so sick of the inane worship of politics over reality.
