MLK fought for equality. Confederates fought against it. That's the difference. To wave the confederate battle flag is an assault on individual freedom in my opinion. It's a sign if suppression of an entire race of people. it's literally the most ignorant display of outright racism I can even fathom in this day and age and it's an embarrassment that it's still on our state flag. OM's reluctance to let go of a heritage of hate is completely absurd to me, but to each his own. They have the constitutional right to wave that flag, honor "rebels," play Dixie, and yell the south will rise again.
