Gary, What I do know is that both flags (US and Confederate) are used by racists.  What I do know is that I have met and know people who are not racists and display the Confederate Battle Flag (CBF).  If you so choose to declare everyone who displays the CBF as racists, well, that's your problem, not mine.  I hardly jumped Old Soul, I just pointed out he was stereotyping and quite honestly, I think all the hot air expended over the CBF only makes the folks who fly it, racist or not, display it even more.  So all the words written and the sounds made about it are counterproductive to our cause.  I personally despise the CFB.  As time goes by it will disappear, unless of course our side continues to make it an issue and lets the other side know they can easily get to "you" by displaying it.  I have found that sometimes you can win the cause by not winning the argument.
