I'm from a area where the battle flag is part of our culture, most folks who are "From" here have relatives that fought in that war, my great,great...grandfather walked from Virginia back to miss after server 4 years, plus a ton of other family members(my dad is a family tree nut and proud southern) My family was mainly sharecroppers who were barely more than slaves themselves but fought for there country(south at that time) not for slaves they never had or could afford. If the flag wasn't used by various hate groups in the late 1800 early 1900 then we wouldn't have this thread.
No I don't have a flag hanging off my truck, I do have one on my arm that serves to remind me of my family and heritage that I'm very proud of
no hate here, just pride
