Reply to: Rebel flag question.
First off, the General Lee looked good and as a kid watching the Dukes of Hazzard, I fell in love with the look of the car. To me it means southern pride. I am proud to be from Texas and the southern area. I love the south for a lot of reasons and it is strengthened every year I spend in Los Angeles. The pace of life and the way of life is awesome.
I went to school at some pretty diverse grade schools and learned how to communicate with people of different ethnic backgrounds. I am not racist toward anyone nor do I have feelings that dwell from historical events. If you are not nice then you are an @$$hole, not a ethinically targetted derogatory name.
Besides that, it is just a cool looking flag, disregarding any meaning which unfortunately leaves it up for controversy.
Good question. I guess it just depends how you look at it.
