It never flew over the South as the flag of the Confederacy. It wasn't a flag of hate, heck the plantation owners loved thier slaves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11250715.post-1119476493767900982005-06-22T17:41:00.000-04:002005-06-22T17:41:00.000-04:00Colored?

It wasn't originally a symbol of hate, but it has certainly morphed into that - and it's our (white non-racist southerner's) fault for letting the racist groups co-opt it for so long.
