I guess it's good that she learned while she was with me that people in the USA are not all the same and that racism through ignorance or intent does exist.
I think many folks just don't realize or think it through when they fly it.

I suppose that's one way to look at it...if you're a Rebelphobe.
I'm sure that Robert E. Lee, as an honorable gentleman who ever lived, would see it differently. I know that I do.
Just because the Stars and Bars was hijacked by a bunch of skinheads and racist criminals doesn't mean that it wasn't the banner that a lot of honorable people gave their lives and prosperity under. At least that's the consensus among a lot of folks in the South.
But they're busy scrubbing that part from the history books.
