Why should the rebel flag not fly?

Answer 1

The Rebel flag should not fly because it is offensive to African Americans. Many terrorist groups liked to fly the flag, such as the Ku Klux Klan. The Rebel Flag belongs in a museum, not in a place of honor.

NO ONE has the right to tell anyone else what they can or can not fly. As American Citizens we have the right to free speech and expression. As long as that right does not "PHYSICALLY" hurt anyone. Flying a flag that identifies you with your cultural history doesn't hurt anyone. Heck, most African Americans when asked what country they come from say Africa!........That's a continent....not a country!For a very long time before the Civil War that Dixie flag was flown. Its part of the identity and culture of many proud people. And regardless of whether you like it or nor being an American citizen gives them the right to believe that slavery is right, as long as they do not act upon those feelings and break the law. That's the problem with you nutty liberals. You believe you have the right to take everyone else's rights away. Hipocricy at its finest!

im sorry but i don't agree.im southern and i was taught that the CONFEDERATEFLAG is to remember our history in the south...Yankees just don't understand.true it was flying during the slave days,but it was flying before.that doesnt mean its a sign of hate.i mean...the American flag was flayin the same time.but its not racist?i own 4 rebel flags,but i ain't racist.some people might use it that way.but not everyone.so open up you history books.the south had their own constitution called the confederate constitution and with it they needed a flag.hence the CONFEDERATE FLAG.not the racist flag.
