The sad truth of the matter is that the majority of the population in the United States of America has an IQ of between 83 - 100. 113 is the max common. So, consider that for a minute please. Most of the people in America are barely above being borderline mentally disabled. Yes, I know I am being a little harsh here but take facts into account, put things into context. Now, also take into account that racial acts occur everywhere ever few seconds out of every day, not just in the South, and usually who is it that is speaking about racism?

We are proud of our heritage because we have respect for those that died for what they believed in, those that made us who we are. They may not have believed in a way that you support, but so what, at least they had a back bone to fight for what they believed in. Many bad things did occur during the civil war, and also before and after it. We need not just look at the negative, we need to see the positive as well. I hope the population sees here what has occurred in so many other parts of history. The winning party is trying to justify themselves and they are trying to erase the losing parties history and change it to make them look evil so that the population will support the winning party. And of course the common man is going with it because look at the intelligence we posses. Just because a symbol means one thing at one period of time, does not mean that it still holds the same meaning for people as time progresses. It is the same with language.

Don 't you think slave owners would do the same for their slaves? It is only logical, but I am sure that there were abusive slave owners. There definitely were, because there is always going to be someone evil or bad amidst the good. To wrap all this up, because I have a life and things to do, people to help, we let you have your gay flags, your gay pride, so let us have our flag and southern pride too. You demand equality, well so do we. If you don 't like how we act, you can move somewhere else. People don 't have to change for you. Sorry, but that is just not how life works. Thank you for your time, and I am sorry that you encountered any "heat" from the South, but honestly what can you expect when you try to take something from someone and you try to tell them that they aren 't as good as you are. I am responsible only for what I say and do; however, I am not responsible for how you interpret
