Quote:What we did to the native Americans alone is just as bad if not worse then anything the confederacy did under the banner of slavery. Condemning one and excusing the other is pure hypocrisy, which is my point.

What we did to the native americans was still not our Raison D'etre.  Not sure what you're not getting here.  Nobody is excusing our treatment of Native American's.  The main purpose of the confederacy was defense of the institution of slavery and the idea that the white race is superior to the black race.  You can say all you want the flag stands for other things, but the fact is most people see it standing for racism and slavery as well as rebellion against the United States.  It makes no sense for it to fly on government property.  


You bring up the British, but imagine if we lost that war.  Do you think the stars and bars would be flying today if we did?
