	So seriously....the 18 year old kid who bought a Skynyrd t-shirt in 1977 at a concert or bought a General Lee toy car is a racist.<br />
	<br />
	And that my wearing the "Surfer's Cross" which also held an evil meaning to some people makes me guilty too?<br />
	<br />
	We as educated adults who are considerate and sensitive to what this flag means know that flying it or wearing it sends a negative message.<br />
	<br />
	Are you saying these kids did know better or SHOULD have known better??<br />
	<br />
	Or that anyone with a southern rock t-shirt with a rebel flag on it is truly a racist?</div></blockquote>
	<br />
	You stopped wearing the Surfer's Cross once the association was pointed out to you.<br />
	<br />
	Once the kid buying the Skynyrd flag shirt finds out what he's wearing, he should consider doing the same thing.<br />
	<br />
	Skynyrd's  use of that symbol always bothered me because I don't believe for a minute that they and their management didn't know EXACTLY what they were doing by using it.   They were a great band but that was a terrible choice.
