Don't get me wrong, it's not that I am not wholly offended by the confederate flag (not capitalized on purpose) or that I do not go on high- "I am in grave danger" - alert whenever I see one on a license plate, but I am more concerned about the people and their long-held attitudes against blacks (lynchings, beatings, beating and then killing a 14 yr. old boy for supposedly whistling at a white woman, the burning of entire black towns and settlements, that distinctive "ka-chunk of a round being quickly loaded into a rifle and automatically pointed aimed and pointed at a black person) rather than the flag itself.
