If I can't find at least several hundred (thousand) educated blacks who find it offensive, then I'll pay the cost of the exercise and pay you an equal amount for losing the wager

You're missing my point. There are quite a few educated people who find the Flag 'offensive'. And exactly why would that be? After 60+ years of revisionist history and the evident whitewashing of historical record, I'm amazed they haven't completely erased the Confederacy. What do you think these educated people are taught in the educational system? Exactly what the Empire would have them taught.

Do they hear about the grandson of Francis Scott Key being thrown in jail for speaking out against the tyrant? Do they hear of the hundreds of newspapers shut down throughout the north? How about the editorials in the early days of the war in the north calling for the north to quit the war? Do they hear about the suspension of habeas corpus? Illegal military courts? Of course not. What they hear is 'slavery bad, Confederacy bad, north GOOD!!' Nothing else. What a mantra. And after seeing your own posts I see your drinking the koolaid by the gallon.
