Some people are very insulted by it, others take pride in it. Others think it's just an image, and others still think it shouldn't even be permitted. The South lost the war, after all. What does it mean for you??

I think it should be taught as a part of history, but it has NO place in today's society.

I can understand how it might represent a symbol of slavery to some. But to others, it represents a struggle against an oppressive government.

It represents the Confederated States of America, the nation of states which seceeded from the United States of America largely over the issue of slavery.

If you like it,I think I could just ignore it! If it was not used in klan rallys! It could be alright if those who like it but hate the klan saw to it that it was not used in that way!

Do you really think the North gave a rat's a** about Southern blacks? I didn't think anyone was that naive.

The South did give a rat's a** about it, though. That's part of the reason why the North took it away.

The South certainly cared about it. Cared enough to secede.

I think that the correct title for this flag is Confederate Battle Flag, so maybe it's a Confederate flag; but not the Confederate Flag.

Seems to me it stands for <i>Kiss My Ass</i>. Not my ass, of course, but the a** of whoever happens to be holding the flag.

To understand this relationship, one must know the history of South Carolina, which is, of course, the Kiss-My-Ass State. And how, you may ask, did South Carolina become the Kiss-My-Ass State.

First off, before the American Revolutionary War, in a sort of Kiss-My-Ass-George action, South Carolina was the first state to declare independence. Next, in a sort of Kiss-My-Ass-Abe action, South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union. Recently, in a sort Kiss-My-Ass-De-Bois action, South Carolina flew the Confederate Battle Flag over the State Capitol, much to the indignation of the Negros-Ain’t-Actin’like-Colored-Pfolk organization. So, South Carolina is the Kiss-My-Ass-State; and because of South Carolina’s association with the Confederate Battle Flag, it has become the Kiss-My-Ass symbol. That suggests that anyone who believes in Kiss-My-Ass should use the Confederate Battle Flag to say just that.

With all that in mind, one might wonder who might best benefit from a Kiss-My-Ass-Symbol like the Confederate Battle Flag. Maybe the NAACP.
