1. They are definitely correct about that, but it's nice to have less of those symbols of hatred.

But, it is just a symbol. There will be others, and the flag will still be flown or hung as works of art in yahoo's homes.

If everyone of those dang flags were burnt, minority groups would still be discriminated against, blamed for all kinds of crud, never perform good enough (Obama is an interesting example), harassed, hated, and worse.

Again, it's still nice to have people at least thinking about that symbol and its place in our society.
