Well, that ain't the old state flag.
The nonsense of changing the flag for political reasons didn't start with King Roy. It started in 1956. And if you don't think that the legislature should, or can, change the state flag because some folks don't like what they think it stands for, then perhaps you can explain why the legislature should, or can, change the state flag expressly because of what they think it stands for - and to thumb their nose at those who disagree.
The '56 flag ain't about heritage. If you want heritage, it would seem that the old flag is far more about heritage than one adopted in a spate of anti-segregation legislation.
Well since I wasn't alive prior to 56, the only one i'm interested in is the one I saw as a kid growing up. You're playing semantics with what I said, you obviously don't feel the way I do about the battle flag and that's cool but you will find that there are lot's of us who feel this way. Just for the record I grew up in a family who were not racist, when I got to the 6th & 7th grade I got bussed to a mostly black school where we whites we're abused because we were the minority. I know all about segregation & desegregation & racism and not once have I ever inflicted harm physically or mentally based on my politics or view on the Georgia state flag. To you it's nonsense, to me & 10's of thousands of other Georgians it's just the way it's going to be, just watch.
