How can any fair-minded person approve of current state flag?

Thank you for the courage of saying what so many of us black folks feel about the state flag. As a Viet Nam veteran, a retired firemen of 28 years, and a productive Georgia citizen, I feel insulted, sometimes angry, each time I see the current state flag.

This supposed symbol of heritage is always at the forefront of every racist and hate group in this country. How can any fair-minded person be proud of that?

I believe a state flag should be something all citizens can be proud of, not ashamed of regardless of race or color. Please continue to educate people on this matter.
