The flag remains a relic of a false history that sought to promote white superiority after the Civil War. It has no place in the United States nor does its false message of benevolent heritage.
Carson Palmer was QB for the Bengals for longer than the Confederacy existed. 4 years isn't "heritage"
The confederate Flag doesnt stand for bad things with all people who have one. I have flown one proudly for years in my yard and on my truck and i aint racist or anything bad. I use to show my southern pride. Its where i came from and its part of the history.
