If I buy Rebel flag?

Question

I would consider my self a rebel but I know the rebel flag came from the south during the civil war. I am totally against slavery. But I want to get the flag cause its a symbolize of who I am. If I get it and hang it outside my house. Would I be harassed about it and people would think I am racist? Because I am not.

Answer 1

That depends on where you live.

Answer 2

Well I'm from Louisiana, but I live in Texas and the rebel flag may mean one thing to you, but to people of color it means racism...especially against black people. I mean, not all people who have the flag are racist, because believe it or not I new some people who have the flag and they have been so nice to me and other people.

I totally understand where you are coming from, But not everyone wants to understand why some people have it...they just think that you are automatically racist!!!

But I see that you are not racist and that is a good thing, but to most other people, it means a bad thing.
