Reasons to agree with Obama:
- "I think that the Confederate flag should be put in a museum. That’s where it belongs. But we’ve got an enormous debate that’s taking place in this country right now. And we’ve got to engage the people of South Carolina in that debate." Source: 2007 South Carolina Democratic primary debate, on MSNBC Apr 26, 2007.
However Mike Huckabee said; "if somebody came to Arkansas and told us what to do with our flag, we'd tell 'em what to do with the pole, that's what we'd do." That is real classy when a former preacher makes jokes about sodomising someone with a flag pole.
Huckabee always talks about how he is a “Christian leader” but he made jokes about shoving a flag pole up the collective butts of people who thought the confederate flag was somewhat racist.
I would have to disagree with you. The confederate flag is as much a part of southern culture as is sweet tea. It really wasn't intended to be a "token" of the white supremacists. In more specific detail the entire civil war was about more than just owning slaves... but that would involve understanding/learning more than what the govt wants you to know.
