About 57% of Americans say Confederate flag symbolizes Southern pride more than racism, a CNN/ORC poll says, though opinions are sharply divided by race.
Among blacks, 72% see the flag as a symbol of racism while just 25% of whites agree. In the South, the racial divide is even broader.
While 75% of Southern whites describe the flag as a symbol of pride and 18% call it a symbol of racism, those figures are almost exactly reversed among Southern blacks, with just 11% seeing it as a sign of pride and 75% viewing it as a symbol of racism.

That flag was laid to rest after the civil war and was resurrected by ku Klux Klan in defiance of the civil rights movement in the late 50s and early 60s. Now what kind of pride is that?

You don't have to put words in my mouth, here is what I said: "That flag was laid to rest after the civil war and was resurrected by ku Klux Klan in defiance of the civil rights movement in the late 50s and early 60s. Now what kind of pride is that?"
Now point out to me where I said: Klu Klux Klan was born after Civil War or any thing about the birth of ku Klux Klan?
Please forgive me jeniFa for correcting my mistake in writing with the deacon....

@ Steve,
..."But why did they have to go and cancel the Dukes of Hazard?"...
Probably because of that big fat Confederate Flag... you think painted all over the hood of the car... ((wink-wink)) Don't get me wrong... I loved dem Duke boys but the creator put that flag on the car ... for what?????
Jen, but I never heard anyone say the Dukes of Hazzard was racist until now, did you?

Steve,
I think the show was really about the car and how the real Gen. Lee should have won the war for the South. The Car in the show... always won! lol Perhaps that's what the creator of the show really felt. hmmm???

Yet this owner would have no problem selling a firearm to a member of the KKK, who have a deep, rich heritage of killing and discriminating against Americans. What an idiot.
