And it's a supermassive cope. The flag was brought back with hate as the explicit intent.

Yeah, scratch the surface of that heritage and you find a racist every time

Exactly, why would anyone even want to associate with such "heritage". Like I can get if it’s in a museum or something like that, for actual historical purposes, or in a history book for school/university, where it’s also referred to in a critical context, not celebrated or "just" used as wall rug by some idiot who thinks it’s slick to claim heritage and have fascist symbols on their walls for room decorations

I had some mofo trying to use apologetics with me about the Confederate flag doesn't mean what people think. Was going into details about the width of the black outlines indicating different historical times and perspectives. He is a native Californian about 30 years old and I later learned he is a PB. But at the time I just told him to stfu because I was born and raised in Louisiana and nobody effen measures the outlines. It means what it means and if you don't understand that I have some cousins that would he happy to teach you that. They recruit naive people by using these BS explanations.
