For anyone who thinks that the confederate flag shouldn't be outlawed because it stands for more than racism, and not all fliers of it are racist : It doesn't matter why the flier is flying it, the fact remains that it is a symbol of racism, and that for every person who flies it in remembrance of those who died in the south during the Civil War, there are ~30 people who are terrorized because of it. That is not fair and is causing pointless anxiety and fear. Its the exact same as flying the Nazi Swastika. Plenty of innocent Germans died in WWII, and some Germans used to want to fly it for that reason, but the Nazi flag is outlawed in Europe because of what it stands for to the VICTIMS. It is a symbol of hate to too many people for the idea that it may be the symbol of something more innocent to a handful of others to outweigh that fact. And the same goes for the Confederate Flag. The idea that the white race are supreme beings over minorities is the cornerstone to why the South seceded, and the fact that the confederate flag is their flag, and the flag of the terrorist group the KKK is why IT MUST COME DOWN, and be treated just like the swastika. End of story.
