Yeah. When I was a kid -- long time ago -- I went to summer camp for a few years in North Carolina. The campers and counselors were mostly from New York, but one year they hired a young local guy as a counselor. The kids loved him, me included. He was a good guy, and lots of fun.
At the end of the summer he gave each of us a Confederate flag. I took mine home and tacked it to the wall of my bedroom. A personal memento, as I saw it.
When my father saw it, he took it down and threw it away. I was furious -- not political, I insisted, but personal.
I believe the white jesus religion was force fed to the blacks and even as a teenager I wondered why the black folks still embraced this load of crap. later on I didn't understand why they embraced the other pile of shit that came from brown people who wandered in the desert and treated women like they were camel shit.
when HULU first came into being I watched a few episodes of TZ. I had to remind myself, when this show was new I was but a youngling and lived for sci-fi. behind the SCARY DOOR on Futurama was better than anything Rod ever gave us. plus he smoked too much. so it goes.

Because (for them that is) that flag (and the war to which it was created for) means 'States Rights'.

Lots to take pride in, and none of it requires Confederate emblems.
