(46,328 posts)Heres what William Thompson said about the Confederate flag, and we should listen, since he was the one who created not only its design but its symbolism and purpose. Here he is quoted in the book Our Flag, by George Preble:
As a people we are fighting to maintain the heavenly ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause."
If this is not convincing to you, consider what the Vice President of the Confederate government said in the Cornerstone Address, specifically addressing Americas belief that all men are created equal:
Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." ~ Alexander Stephens

I did not know Grandpa Cook and do not know his circumstance, but am sure he was not a slave owner and probably not even a landowner. I am neither ashamed or proud, it is just what it was.
These people who glory in that flag and fake "heritage" are racists, even though they may pretend they are not. I have lived in three states, GA, TN and SC and there are idiots like that in all three. But there are plenty in the midwest also.

The Confederacy should have been brutally dealt with after the war. Jeff Davis, Bobbie Lee, & the rest of the leadership should have been stripped of all wealth & hung from a noose.
