I am actually surprised the propaganda fails.

A wild glimmer of hope appears?

Among African-Americans, 72% see the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism

I lnow only ONE African American personally

He was Born In NIgeria....and Immigrated here legally decades ago.

Hes now a straight ahead no BS Baptist Preacher...with NO interest in being “an”...”african-American” .

CNN will go wall-to-wall with polling results if they help push the agenda, and they can get early polling data within twelve hours if they want to.

I should have guessed the polling data wasn’t supporting the narrative because they haven’t been showing it.

Sadly, the ruling oligarchy will probably ignore this sentiment of the American people when charting policy — as it does all others.

We will be proudly displaying ours tomorrow all day along with the Gadsden. Just to show we are not racists we are drinking Mexican beer. :-)

Sure. But it still hurts the agenda.

Well, some of us won’t. Plenty of ...ahem...’Americans’ ARE the fascists. At least 30-40% worth. AKA the Dem/Libs and a pathetic number of GOP/their backers.

But you are right.. genuine “AMERICANS” won’t.

Its only a symbol of racism to those who want to create a stereotype. That act in itself, btw is prejudiced and since it relates to southern whites only is also racist.

I think I’ll run up the ole 100% cotton hand-sewn battle flag with its super-rich red tomorrow morning. I would usually fly the 15-star-15-stripe Star Spangled Banner but I’m sick of the trendy set piling-on the Confederate flag.

Isn’t it revealing they can’t just let it rest with 57% finding the flag to represent pride vs racism. They seem to think they’ll make big points if they toss in higher education.

Tell you what, folks with less education will be smart enough to know why the folks with more education think the flag is racist. They’ve attended a university where everything is politicized.

I’m shocked it isn’t 0% of the people who attended a university thinking the flag is simply for southern pride.

The Left must be aghast at all the effort they put in to brainwash college students, and they sill can’t convince more than 41% that the Dixie flag stands for racism.

What a massive fail!

I’m a proud Southerner and pretty much don’t give a rats patookie what anyone thinks.

Joined Sons of Confederate Veterans several years ago after obtaining enlistment/muster role records for two GG Grandads who fought the Northern aggressors out of Haywood co. NC. Loves company no less.

Got SCV stickers on both my trucks, got my battle flag, beer, bible and shotgun.

So...progressive yanks, liberals, commies, greenie winnies, feral gubbamint...go take a long walk on a short peer. My land is my kingdom, dare ya come take my flag down.

Huge supporter of our troops by the way!

Well, I see president Obuma as a symbol of hate and racism. Let’s remove him and all vestiges of his bitter, racist policies.

Funny thing about Detroit, most of the whites in Detroit are hillbillies even after generations there.

All this Confederate flag stuff reminded me of all the great times I had listening to southern rock in college; Charlie Daniels, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws, Little Feat.
I am a Yankee but went to college below the Mason-Dixon Line. The most polite friendly people I ever met were rural southerners. I spent lots of time shooting pool in road side bars with my college buddies and we never had any problems with the locals.
The most obnoxious rudest people I ever met were and still are northeastern elitists. There are lots of segregated neighborhoods in the "deep north".
