The Confederate Flag is not racist. Peps are. People who are ignorant and perceive it that way. There are people who use it in that context. They are just as dumb. It is as part of our (in the south) heritage, as wearing a Malcom X shirt is to a proud black man. And yes, slavery was terrible, but it is over and done with. So move on. I have no problem with any one, race, religon, unless they hurt me or my family, and I have a Confederate Flag Tattood on my arm, am I a racist?? There are Racist people everywhere, north, south etc... But majority of the time, the first ones to cry Racism, are the biggest Racist.
