I was thinking about this, having done a lot of civil war study lately. If organizations like the KKK didn't use the confed flag would we see it so harshly? when we became an independent nation from england we do not look at the Union Jack like we do the Stars and Bars. I'm frankly glad the North won, but it makes me wonder a bit.

The kkk needs to fly the flag that most represents their beliefs. I think this one is most appropriate.

That flag is a symbol, that I have learned means different things to different people; I understand both sides of the discussion/argument. I have my own opinions on what the "stars and bars" or "rebel" flag means; it is a matter of opinion.

The KKK, and other hate groups, are evil. I would hope we could see through their symbols and focus on their vision and mission.

Morality is the flag that vilifies the KKK, not the Confederate flag.
