I am always torn with the Confederate stuff since I did have ancestors that fought for the South (non-slave owners, we were of the poor farmer ilk). While I understand why their is hatred for that flag, and I have no interest in the damn thing when it is all said and done. It is hard also, not to see it as being told, "ancestry is something we should all be proud of......except YOU!"
So while I am sympathetic, I also end up feeling attacked. As a result, I've never really been able to completely sort out my feelings, it's very complicated for me.
