Would you be mad if I chose to fly a confederate flag on my property?

I guess the question is why would you fly it? Another question would be, do you understand why people would get mad?

@grayhalo I understand, but I have ancestors who were confederate soldiers

Personally, knowing the context, I wouldn't be offended.

Trouble is that it's more famous for being a symbol of hate a and oppression. It's not that to you, but there is no really good way to get around that. And then you have those who would fly it for the expressed purpose of trying to piss people off. And how do you differentiate yourself from those people. It's a muddy situation.

@grayhalo I've seen black people who fly it, but they become controversial.
