What does everyone think of the confederate flag? Symbol for racism and backward thinking or just something for the southern folks to put up in their house to feel good? ---

All I think of is rednecks and the General Lee. The former I’m neutral on, and the latter is one of the coolest things my generation missed out on. I like it. 🤣 My roomate and I had one hanging in our room all through college because we liked country music and the dukes of hazzard and things like that. Although we were aware that some people would associate it with racism so we were respectful enough to not put it in view of the window. ---

it all depends on how you take it i guess, general lee would not look right at all, as camarojoe said.i like to see it as a part of history, and simpler times. not so much racism. ---

that flag means to me what it literally is. A void confederate symbol that holds no authority or power in this country. Its a cancelled flag if you will, therefore i dont acknowledge it. ---

Who cares? If it is because they are racist, it is still their right to display it. If you are that bummed about it. Post a “crackers are faggors” flag in your yard. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/confederate-flag-get-rid-of-it/42160.md?page=2)
