My college roommate was from the south and we used to argue about this all the time. I think for many it’s just a southern pride thing and really has not much to do with the underlying Civil War. It doesn’t bother me. People fly pirate flags and all kinds of flags and I don’t give it much credence that they want to pillage or have a desire to steal. I just think people are getting way too ultrasensitive and trying to made broad generalizations that may or may not apply to an individual or what they may be thinking or believing.
