Confederate Flag Question

[AllTheDude]

As a history major at Emory University for 2 years (before I changed majors) I have learned quite a bit about the world and its past mistakes. I was born and raised in GA and it bothers me that so many southern states and their inhabitants take a flag which represented people who died (as the battle flag) and chose to use it as a symbol for their desire to keep this country white protestant. That isn't what the confederacy was about. If anything the confederacy fought to maintain state's rights and keep govermental influence to a minimun (the policies which this country was founded on 230+ years ago). If you really want to keep this country free of minorities I suggest u visit south georgia and witness the work put forth by the migrant farm workers and decide if you would be willing to perform those tasks for 6 dollars an hour. The flags of the confederacy are no more than historical remnants so stop putting them on your Z-71 and portraying them as symbols of hatred. It makes educated southerners embarassed because we have to interact with individuals from the rest of the world in a professional, and respectful manner.

This man here and people like him, make the world a place for all, open to all and a home for all. I wont go on and go as usual, but I respect this random person. He's not slow and narrowminded as most on this site and in states named Kentucky.
