I know this isn't directed at me, but if I can add my 2 cents . . . I don't think that it does. As long as it's kept in the historical context, particularly when it's at a Civil War memorial, it is appropriate and perhaps even commendable. Now if it were still flown over the State Capital...that would be a different story in my eyes.So do you feel that by having the Confederate Battle Flag on statehouse grounds at a Civil War memorial makes us a racist state?That said, it isn't 1865 anymore. Displaying the stars and bars has a racial undertone in todays world, and eveyone knows it.
I think that hukertim might have just been referring to shirts and tatoos, etc. etc. I don't have a problem with those per se (although it sure might affect my initial impression of that person!) so long as it's not displayed in some state or governmental capacity.
