People can say all they want about what the Stars and Bars represents but it really just comes down, in its simplest form, to a sector of the US that felt justified in enslaving a group of people. It turns my stomach when folks say we should honor that flag as a symbol of the Confederacy. Honor what? Slavery?
Pretty much my opinion.
Also not to cast a wide stereotype net here, but the majority of people who wave this flag are not exactly the type of people I would hang out with anyway.
