(But, that's another story entirely).
Last night on Brit Hume's show Morton Kondrake made this statement that pretty much went unchallenged.
"People in the South who display the Confederate flag are saying 'I hate blacks.'"Some are, but if I decided to put a Confederate battle flag decal on my car, it would be in protest of what author and historian Shelbey Foote called a violation of a "great compromise;" .e.g. - Southerners admitting freely that it's probably best that the Union wasn't divided, and the North admitting rather freely that the South fought bravely for a cause in which it believed. That blacks "don't celebrate their past the same way the Jews do about bondage in Egypt and say, 'We came out of it. We conquered it,'" is just another example of what we talked about below, Democrats using destructive politics to achieve a political end. It is they who perpetuate hatreds that would otherwise have dissipated. Carry on.

I never did understand the desire to display the Confederate flag. I would not do it because it would remind me that the South lost the war.
Sounds to me like you might know the answer. Will you elucidate us readers with your vast store of knowledge?
A historical note:
The only comparable symbol I have seen is the flag of Corsica. They have put on their flag a profile of a slave because the Corsicans have been conquered and enslaved so often. Their last enslaver and now present owner is France. Upon that event I would have changed the slave profile to show him putting a finger down his throat.
