Exclamation The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag"

A Confederate flag hung from a noose in a display titled "The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag" has upsets visitors to a museum in Tallahassee, Fla.
What would you think if you saw this?

What do you feel when you see a confederate flag?
Honor
Hate
Don't know


For me I can't stand people who discriminate race. Those who are proud of slavery. But yet some people take pride in their heritage of the south, which the flag is suppose to represent.

A flag is a flag regardless, and people should have respect for it, even if it is a confederate flag. I think that I would be upset too if I saw the flag hanging from a noose and not hung proper.

I agree. I just can't believe after all this time people still associate race/hate with such a matter. But to each is own.

Default The Noose thing was rediculous...

I am no rascist, I do think that the confederate flag should be flown its a big part of our history and without it and its meaning' we would not be where we are today (imop)....However...hanging it from a noose is ignorance in the hands of those who simply do not understand. It is saying that the confederate flag stands for racism and hatred when in fact @least now is a symbol for us "southern folks"...though the history of the flag has not changed, the meaning and what it stands for has.
