    Displaying the Confederate flag is bigoted and sour grapes, in my humble opinion. The Confederacy lost the Civil War, yet a few southern states there were part of this failed rebel government hold onto this part of history by displaying the losing flag on their state banners.

Sorry, I do not support the southern cause from hundred and fifty years ago, and it is a cause that said women were inferior to men, and who wanted slaves counted as 3/4s of a person for suffrage purposes, but which would never give these individuals rights to be equal citizens.…
