Even if you don't agree with the symbolism it still exists, and the Confederate battle flag is a well recognized symbol of people who support racism and violence against minorities.
Those symbols are used to promote fear and intimidation. They have that effect even if you don't think they should. So your opinion does not change reality.
theres people in other coutries that feel the same way about the American flag. should we get red of it cause some people in other lands think it repersents bad things against them and there countries? if we can just get red of something cause others people are offended by it or cause bad things have been done using it as a symbol then the amercan flag might be next fella. Then people like you will have to own that.
