This whole flag issue - which popped up out of nowhere, is designed to split the Republican Party before the next elections.
The south is solidly Republican. Many in the south view the confederate flag as a part of their heritage. Many white people in the rest of the country (including Republicans) have been brainwashed over the past 30-40 years to believe that the confederate flag is a symbol of racism.
So, you have the whites in the south, who defend the flag as a symbols of regional pride vs. whites in the rest of the country who see it as a symbol of racism.
There are now in winners in this fight, only losers. The Democrats are enjoying this!
My disappointment is in the southern Republican politicians who are so scared to be called racists that they throw their fellow citizens under the bus.
