I had this debate in High school about the rebel flag any many black people said that they take no ofence to it as long as the person wering it isent acting inapropatly with it. While certian people are using the flag to stand for raceism the majority of the people owning and whering the flag are doing it for southern pride. i have a confederate flag on my clealing in my room and many dixie outfitters shirts and i also have many black friends and one of my really good friends is dating a black guy. so am i racist that i where the flag immm no the peopl who think it is racest are closed minded and just plain stupid
