If one is proud to be from the South, then one could just as easily have a state flag. "I'm proud to be from Alabama"is neutral". The flag of the defense of slavery and Jim Crow is not neutral.
What can I assume when I see a Nazi or Soviet flag? One believes in the ideology!
Personally I don't care for that flag. However, when you have only so many legislative days to get your work done what flag flies over the capitol building takes lower order of precedence.
As for Jim Crow he's dead. He's been dead for over 40 years now. Seriously you're in a bigger time warp than Cuba.
Unlike the Nazi flag or the Soviet one the so-called Confederate flag is a battle flag for the Army of Northern Virginia. I'm not sure it even represents an ideology at all unless it is one imposed on it after the fact. That still doesn't mean it is an issue that should take center stage when there are other more important issues at stake like whose road gets paved or where to build a school.
Sorry but when it comes to frying fish a smart cook starts with the big ones first--they take longer.
It really is all mathematics.
