[-STAT-]

I think this goes beyond the whole ordeal with Allen Central. I saw a story on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" where the NCAA is preventing any university in South Carolina can't host a post-season tournament, because of the Confederate flag flying on the capital grounds. Up until the year 2000 (maybe 2001) the state capital building in Columbia, SC had the Confederate flag flying 3rd, below the American flag and the state flag. It's rediculous! I, personally, don't see racism when I see a Confederate flag. I see a sign of what our country had to endure to become what it is today. Of course, I'm referring to the Civil War, and the Confederate troops. It's a symbol of America's past, and if you can't learn to accept it, then maybe you need to repeat some history courses or something. It's crazy to think that all people have time to do now days is look around and try to find something that they consider "offensive." The name "Rebel" or the flag doesn't mean "Hey! I'm racist!" It simply shows a sign of the history of our great nation, and if you can't learn to live with that, then maybe you should either move to another country, or not live!!!!!

Totally agree.
