Sounds like you would be more at home in Kalifornia. :-)

As a white Yankee, Texan by choice, it’s easy for me to not be offended by the Battle Flag. Down here in Texas Juneteenth is a big deal. I’ve been to one last year but this year after the murders by Roof in Charleston, I didn’t want to be the only white guy there.
Having said the above, I can see blacks being offended by the Battle Flag, but will say perhaps Battle Flag on state or government lands should come down EXCEPT in cemeteries to celebrate Confederate soldiers and on private property should always be 1st AM legal.
As a Philly to Texas transplant I will say this though, “I love that Natural born real Texans have great pride in the Lone Star Flag” and I love that they have such state pride. All I can say about the Pennsylvania Flag is I rarely saw it, it was blue and had some liberty lady or justice thing in the middle.
The Lone Star Flag never fought the Union unless I imagine some proud Texans carried it during the CW to show where they were from.
