this question is not about individual right to expression. This question is about whether or not our governments can legally expound one creed over another. the fact that most people use the "heritage" argument only backs up my point. the state is showing favoritism to those people who identify with this flag as a part of their heritage. Is that constitutional?

[Dixiebitch1]

If ppl learn the true history they will see that this flag is not about racism. And how bout the fact that a good % of the ppl who voted to keep that as our state flag where black. HERITAGE NOT HATE!!!

[drummergirll]

the flag is actually ot about racism at all

if you learn about the history of it and the reasons for going into the civil war

heritage not hate

The Klan doesn't represent all confederate flag followers.

@HeritageNotHateProd It's also a disgrace to all Decent Americans to make up such an ignorant and unrealistic bigoted comparison. Hitler hated Dixie but he idolized Stalin and wish he had the stomach to be as sinister as Stalin was.

@kevyster thats the Yankee way: Pointing out other people's faults to make theirs less noticeable.

Btw, Tha Nazi rag stood for anti-semitism,loss of freedom, gov't control in every aspect of your daily life. The Rebel stood for individual freedom, small gov't , less fed gov't control over the state. Btw, many Jews fought for the confederacy so did many Blacks. Google "Black confederates" to see what the NAACP doiesn't want you to see. Note the KKK hates hearing about Black confederates , too.

I guess you missed the voting polls when 30% of Blacks in Mississippi voted in favor of the rebel state flag. Actually students in general , regardless of race, get a better education system in the Mississippi,etc than they do in Harlem, South Central LA, Newark, Southside Chicago, Hartford, Detroit,etc. Instead whining about a flag you know NOTHING about, why don't you focus on Yankee's failing inner city school system?

also, the flag you used in this video is the confederate naval jack, the NAVY flag of the CSA. the real confederate flag is the "blood stained banner." get your history straight man. only 6% of the south had slaves. ulyses s. grant (USA) had slaves... Robert E. Lee (CSA) didn't. it is completely the fault of the kkk, neo-nazies, and white supremecy that have given that particular flag such a bad name.

mississippii was a confederate state. so you cant be suprised that it has a confederate battle flag on it. i fly the confederate battle flag outside of my house, and i am not racist.

[darthroden]

In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt signed an executive order returning the captured battle flags to the Southern States.

In effect he gave them back to the Southern People! Meaning WE own them and WE define what they mean, not walking condom commercials like you.

[darthroden]

What say me?

As the descendant of a Confederate soldier I say this. The individuals who have misused the flag do not represent it, nor do individuals who are not native Southern have the right to define it.

Can an Arab define what the Star of David stands for? NO! So what gives racists and the ignorant the right to define my ancestors flag?

Plus your statements suggest that all African Americans support your views, which is of course bullshit propaganda on your part. Nice try!

Also the the first Confederate Attorney General, Secretary of War, and Secretary of State was a Jew named Judah P. Benjamin! He was also featured on the Confederate 2 Dollar Bill! If you wanna look for a Nation to compare to Nazi Germany and Hitler then look the the North, Hitler claimed that Lincoln "inspired" him. The US wanted a highly centralized government just like the Germans!
