    Hey Sara from Oakland, can you tell me what flag flew on the ships that brought the slaves over here from Africa? It wasn’t that despised rebel flag, it was the AMERICAN flag. It wasn’t until the North became industrialized when slavery was outlawed there. Northerners are every bit as bigoted as Southerners. I proudly fly the rebel flag because it is the flag my ancestors fought and died under in the Civil War. You can hate the flag and associate it with the evils of slavery and Jim Crow, but I choose to associate it with the Southern struggle for independence from an arrogant and imperialistic Federal Government instead. The way I look at it is if somebody can wear an X for Malcolm X, you can wear your Rebel Flag. So in response to Rebecca W. from Evansville, Indiana- wear your Rebel Flag tattoo with pride and to hell with anybody who doesn’t like it.
