Anyone that believes the stars and bars are an innocent symbol of “the south” without implying anything more is oblivious to one of the most significant events in US history. I can respect well-intentioned simple folks, but that level of ignorance is hard to excuse.[/quote]
Harv, folks can’t be an expert on everything – just too much stuff out there to know. They didn’t live in the south, so they really don’t care much about the history of the south.
If you care and study it, more power to ya. My folks have better things to do with their life than study the Civil War – things that have much more direct impact on their day to day life. I’m pretty sure there are other topics where they can run laps around you.
Your lack of understanding and ability to see other perspectives is pretty hard to excuse. I noticed that in some of your other posts as well.
