Do You Relate to "Confederate Flag"?

Personally, I can't. Despite the fact that people who grew up north of me in MD somehow find that it represents them, at no point have I ever thought that a flag that represented a rebellion against our country primarily over the right to own slaves could relate to me in this day and age.

If you say "yes", why does it?

I don't because i've never been southern enough. That sounds kind of stupid but even though i've grown up in KY, i've grown up in Northern KY. Not nearly the same as some of the counties just a few miles South of me. Sure, there have been plenty of times i've seen it depicted on something, ala The General Lee, and thought it looked cool--plus Dimebag Darrell had a super cool guitar with the CF painted on it--but, to me it's always just been a flag that "rednecks" love to wave around at nascar races. Nothing more than that. Come to think of it, it's not all that dissimilar to Steelers fans and that stupid Terrible Towel.
