For example, a lot of my jewish friends don't even buy Ford,  Mercedes, or Audio because of their Nazi connections.  Now I am not saying that I will never bank with Chase, Citibank, Wachovia (now wells fargo) because of their history with slavery and the profits that they amassed over the years from slavery, but I am just saying a confederate flag represents the VERY painful past of this country's involvement in slavery!  No amount of revisionist history will change that!  I don't care if someone rocks a confederate flag is not outwardly racist..to me, that person has serious issues that need to be addressed!</div></blockquote>

	To many people who quite simply don't know the history, the rebel flag means nothing more than Lynyrd Skynyrd and/or The Dukes Of Hazard....you can call them ignorant and try to educate them, but assuming they have serious issues and/or are racists is a pretty big leap.<br />

	When I see some moron wearing a Charles Manson t-shirt I shake my head and think he's an idiot, but to assume he's a murderer or supports murder is a stretch.<br />
	<br />
	Some dude that flys the Confederate Flag and has a White Power tattoo...HE has serious issues that need to be addressed.<br />

	The kid playing with his model of the General Lee car from the Dukes Of Hazard....not so much.</div></blockquote>

	True.  Hardcore racists somehow managed to "rehabilitate" the battle flag in the 50s and 60s, and now it appears "normal" to their kids and grandkids.<br />

	It's still a symbol of the very worst sort of racism to anyone with an education or any sort of informed sensibility, but there just aren't enough people like that.
