Pedro, did you know the succession started over the federal government forcing the South to sell their cotton to northern textile mills at a deflated price? Betcha thought it was about slavery. Yeah, bowing to these asshats is PISSING me off. You can fly a beaner (Mexican) flag anywhere in the country, but MY flag is banned
Scroom, and anyone who looks like them, or even said hello to them

Thanks for the explanation Mike, no I did not know that the flag was a battle flag for the North Virginia army. Appreciate the explanation.
My comment was more on the sense that there are more present things to worry about than what seems to be an outdated battle flag. But I can see how this can offend sensibilities on both sides, especially those who are under the impression it's about slavery.
I agree with the comment about putting it through a vote. If they think it's such a pressing issue, then put it through a vote and see what happens.
