      <![CDATA[While I can have empathy for african americans who want to see racism gone, the confederate flag stood for sooo much more than just slavery. States used to have rights to govern themselves accordingly and have separate laws than one another even.

      <![CDATA[I think those, including the writer of this article, that choose to jump to race rather than familiarizing themselves with southern history and culture are the ones that are racist and creating conflict. If a black man had worn that earpiece would it be an issue??

      <![CDATA[I agree with Ms. Ronique Nicole that the intent was to offend, however I disagree that the flag could be compared to the swastika. An estimated 600,000 (both sides) was killed with the confederate flag which pales in comparison to the estimated 50 - 70 million people was killed for the swastika.
