When I was in HS in GA this was our state flag
and then was changed to some generic nonsense flag nobody liked. Now the Georgia flag is pretty nice but just not the same. This is GAs current flag based of the OG flag of the confederacy
I personally do not see it as a symbol of hate but one of pride of heritage and that comes with the good and bad.
MS and SC still incorporate it in their state flags but now media hype has made it out to be the reason for the massacre by that evil kid in Charleston. I prefer the uniquely southern state flags, but I can certainly see where people take issue mainly due to all the hate groups out there adopting the battle flag as their own. I think it should be voted on during elections and not just changed b/c it is the political scape goat and talking point for main stream news and its cohorts. MS voted on a change in 2001 and it was shot down. If the people want them changed let it be decided by the ballot not media sensationalism and attention seeking hypersensitivity imo
