I have a neighbor across the street who flies the confederate flag. I have a neighbor who is african american a block down the road. They invite me over for a beer when I could drink, and its just redneck fun, drinking beer, talking about boating, or fishing.....I had fun, but as the night gets later and I have returned home.....I hear the N word being yelled and I am sorry.....I have never met a person who flies the confederate flag who does not look at other humans as being less......If I used that same criteria to judge the flag flyer....he certainly would not feel good. The flag is a rally point of hate......can we not recognize the same. Yea, gasoline is complex......but do we need to throw it on the campfire when we are cooking marshmallows.
