I think it's a shame people have to attack symbols instead of having a frank and honest discussion about race. Some people say the confederate flag is a symbol of racism - some of those same people say the American flag is a symbol of international oppression. I'd say deal with the actual issues and the need to destroy or hide symbols goes away.
One of the actual issues is the flag. It only has meaning because of the other issues. How about we stop showing it respect and start showing respect for others. It has no place in a house of govt. and it needs to be laid to rest with the dead Confederates who made it. I keep hearing the South will rise again...they certainly didn't mean IQ scores.
