[QUOTE="donner, post: 2761194, member: 277"] That is all true. And despite the cries from it's supporters, i really haven't seen anyone claim removing the flag will end racism. Personally, I doubt anything will end racism. But just because it wont end racism doesn't mean it should be discussed or done. And to be fair, efforts to remove the flag have been going on for a long time in the south. It's only now that there is enough momentum to overcome the 'good ol' boy' politics associated with it. Ole Miss is still arguing about a ban on the battle flag from football games several years ago (and technically, the flag isn't banned, but the sticks that the flags came on were banned). The flag is neither wholly bad or wholly good. It seems like too few people on both sides want to admit that its a symbol that means many things to many different groups. [/QUOTE]
