I don't agree. Symbols are powerful, because they can incite us to hatred, or they can provoke our collective conscience. Embracing the latter can move us toward the colorblind society you profess to seek.

Confederate flag must be protected, but I dont think that war is a solution when you are weak and inferior.
You're in the minority then. In about three months months, try wearing a Lions jersey at Soldier Field and flipping off the first 100 Bears fans you see.

Overly simplistic. Let's get a movement to make a flag for your state of two gay guys humping a bible. I mean if taking offense is for wimps and all, lets see whose crying then. Of course this new flag wouldn't really have a history of lynchings behind it but I'm sure we can work hard to find the most offensive flag we can.
The Stars and Stripes never represented an entity that specifically fought for slavery.

I'm offended by your offensive defense. You are now being boycotted.
I believe states should make their own decisions, and this seems along those lines. But what the hell is a Clinton Republican?Gunn: Confederate part of state flag 'needs to be removed'
kudos to Mr Gunn. A bold stance in that state, to be certain.
"He who does not think himself worth saving from poverty and ignorance by his own efforts, will hardly be thought worth the efforts of anybody else." -- Frederick Douglass, Self-Made Men (1872)
"Fly-over" country voted, and The Donald is now POTUS.
And neither did the Confederate Battle Flag.
You think tens of thousands of Confederate Soldiers went off to die for slaves ?
The majority of those soldiers were poor farmers, who couldn't afford to own a slave if they wanted one.
The South wanted to secede and the North never had a problem with slavery until then.
