I will never agree with anyone who thinks flying this flag is a positive thing.

Progress is important.  The American flag is a symbol of liberation and the Rebel flag to many, many Americans is a reminder of hate and racial violence and is blatantly flown in front of government buildings as a reminder of the racial divide that has existed in this country but more specifically in the south for a very long time.

Although we may be resistant to change this country is constantly evolving.  I'm not being politically correct either I just really thing any argument to keep that flag is bogus.

It's an advertisement of ancient thinking and even if they don't take it down now it will come down.  The youth of America everyday becomes more mixed racially and more tolerant of different races and colors.

Don't be a dinosaur be part of what is next it can feel good.

I am certain there are many southerners who are not racist and fly this flag as a pride thing for their southern heritage and that's fine but they may have to let it go.  Sometimes you have to give something up that you love for your country.
