The Confederate flag is a potent symbol of racism and treason, flown by corrupt men who fought and died for their right to enslave other human beings based purely upon the color of their skin. While its message is uncomfortable, it is an important piece of history. No building which houses any form of government of the United States of America should fly the Confederate flag with pride, nor do I believe any good citizen should have it hung proudly on display. I believe the only appropriate place for the Confederate flag to fly is at the sites of historical battles between the Union and Confederacy, and the only appropriate place for it to be displayed otherwise is in museums dedicated to the history of the Civil War.
