The Rebel Flag

Vick · 05-12-2003

Maryland was a slave state that did not secede

Living in Maryland (south of the Mason-Dixon and considered a "border state") I've always seen the Rebel flag to represent the Southern way of living. More congenial and slower paced than the (perceived) Northern pace of life.

Being a Marylander gives a good perspective between the North and South as Baltimore is a big city with somewhat Northern ways while our Eastern Shore is very Southern

Bottom line is I think it's fine to fly a Rebel Flag as long as it's for the right reasons

Edit - right reasons being to represent a heritage and a way of life
If someone flies the Rebel Flag to represent prejudice and hatred they're a sad fucking idiot and should be treated as such
