First off why do you have to be so rude to me. I was never rude in my comment. Secondly do you not watch what is going on in North Carolina right now, the NCAA fighting for the removal of the Confederate flag off the capitol building they say it stands for racism. They dont even want it on the Confederate memorial. I have to watch and record the news for a living and create transcripts for it and watch it every single day. I know it is a symbol of courage. I DID NOT SAY IT STOOD FOR RACISM. I said people are saying that is what it stands for the NCAA and many others have protested in the Carolinas and other places to have the Confederate flag nearly wiped out in existance. That is wrong. Now I am truly sorry if you were offended by my comments but please, how about not being so harsh in your emails to a person you cant see or even know. Even if a persons opinion isn't the same as yours it is still just that, an opinion. I agree with you on the flag, you just read what I wrote wrong or misunderstood Tonya ----- Original Message ----- From: "irish9" <irish9@adelphia.net> Who the hell said the Confederate flag represents racism???? The "True" Stars and Bars represerents the courage of the south. The 3 x 5 is wrong. Lets end it here . I reenact in a Confederate unit that carried the First National til the end. That flag is a symbol of courage.
