    Last thing I was think was "how glorious this was" (more like tragically terrible)
    I don't think the Holocaust Museum is glorifying it.

    It is a part of History in a museum, it represents the past, and the mistakes of the past, lets us reflect on where we have come, and are going terrible idea! Calling me racist causes me no issues as I am not but have at it

    What "mistakes" does the Confederate Flag represent?

    How does it "represent the past"?

    How does it "reflect" on where we have come if you're still flying it?

    You're absolutely a fucking racist.

    The act of slavery and democrats desire to keep it!
    The fact that it is no longer a flag or relevance!
    People who fly are evoking their first amendment right of free speech! other wise it show as a nation we made mistakes!
    I am not even close to being racist, but please continue making a fool out of your victim self!

    It was part of that history. Do we remove all the swastikas from WWII museums--they are certainly as "evil" as Confederate flags.

    Trivia: I recently learned Washington added a 14th-15th stripe to the U. S. flag after KY and WV (?) were admitted.

    So...then the Civil War was about slavery.

    That's why they were flying the flag.

    That's what it represents.

    Got it.

    So it's not "Southern heritage" or any of that bullshit. This is you saying plainly that it represents slavery.

    Then why are you so adamant for it to be prominently displayed everywhere?

    But it's not about free speech, you said yourself it's about slavery.

    So you are saying that all that trash flying the Confederate Flag today are doing so to remind everyone the flag represents slavery?

    You can't smell yourself. It's not up to you if you think you're racist.

    But how does it "teach history"? What is the lesson learned from the Confederate Flag? That's what I'm getting at.

    We don't prominently display the Nazi flag in public spaces.

    in other words, delete the history of the Democrat party and make history revisionism easier
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
