Is it racist...........or is it a way to show you're proud of your heritage?

My High School's mascot was called The Rebel...........Our sports teams were the Rebels and Rebelets.

People waved the rebel flag(confederate flag)when we got a touchdown.

We wore Heritage t-shirts with the CF on them.

But,We never thought anything about it.
We never thought it was racist.....And I'm most certainly not racist.

Is it just people who aren't from the south that think the flag is racist?........Because they don't understand Southern Heritage?

I really don't know................So please give me your opinion.




And btw I'm not from some hick town full of rednecks.
I am from Tennessee,south of Nashville.
 
I think that it depends on why you fly it. If you fly it because you believe that all African-Americans should be slaves, sure. If you fly it because you have pride in your southern heritage, of course not.
 
Yes it is. It's also unpatriotic and characteristic of bible thumping rednecks.
 
That's like a German asking if it's racist to fly the Nazi German flag because his granddaddy fought for the Waffen SS.
 
The "heritage" you are talking about is the desire to preserve slavery and spread it to new territories. That is the one and only reason the Confederacy ever existed.
