I disagree. Surprised?
But the issue is still there: The flag has been used to represent racism and supporters want to pretend that isn't true.

Lashed to pickups, hung on houses, even on a few businesses. People that never flew them before doing it now just to be contrary. It's been very interesting.I've seen it flying on more and more trucks up here too. I saw a parade of them the other day. There's not a lot of Southern heritage in Ohio. Just a buncha ignorant rednecks.

KKK from NC and the Black Panthers from FL, with SC stuck in the middle having to listen to them use a state that isn't their own to yell at each other.
