Lately I've noticed an interesting trend. It appears that many Blacks in the south are starting to display the Confederate Flag. I've heard it's because they are finally beginning to accept it as a symbol of heritage instead of hatred. And since their ancestors apparently played such a key role in building the old south, they feel it is a way to show their pride, just like southern Whites who fly the flag.
Anyone else noticed this trend???

Well, shoot - I suggested this approach LONG ago.
The BEST way to disarm racist bigots is to adopt the symbol they MISUSE and ABUSE to show hatred.
The Conf. flag is NOTHING more than a piece of cloth. It is NOT about hatred. But some misuse it for that.
If blacks would adopt the flag on a widescale basis, the racists would reliaze it no longer holds any power over them. And THAT is what racism is ALL about - POWER.
Same holds true for all forms of racism. Blacks should hold cross burnings, re-legitimize the term "nigger," purposefully sit in the back of the bus - ANYTHING that is NOT physically injurious that a racist uses against them, they should adopt.
The racists will come to realize the black man has "got them." Eventually, they'll give up trying.
