And those who say well I just fly that flag or have it on my truck cuz I'm proud to have been born in the South. I'll accept that line as much as some German flying his swastika and saying it has nothing to do with Jews, some of whom are certainly his best friends, just likes the flag as it represents when Germany stood proud and strong. You don't see a lot of black people with CSA flags on their trucks. So when you wear your CSA flag hat, or sticker up your truck I know I'm looking at a racist or a person so devoid of education that he doesn't understand the significance of his display.
