Um I think so.

Quote:You don't need modern racists to have racism in the flag.  It's origins were in the preservation of slavery.

So you understand how some would equate the confederate flag with slavery?

I assume you're referring to the US flag?  And yes our founding fathers were slave owners.  However nobody equates the US flag with slavery. You can if you want to and I get it, but it's not the same, and most know that.

I understand who flew the Confederate flag and why.
