Well like that's your opinion, man. But seriously I am Yankee born and bred and I can't honestly tell what that flag represents to people from the south. Maybe some people think of it as a racial icon whereas others just think it represents southern pride regardless of who you are. I do think the knee jerk reaction to some crazy kid shooting up a church is dumb though.
Do we stop flying the American flag because it represents genocide and oppression to some natives? How far are we going to take this?

Great question, and a valid one because you are completely right. What about the Irish Americans that were treated like shit when they came over, or how about the Chinese that came over to the US and were exploited? Can't forget about the Japanese Americans that were thrown inside internment camps during WWII, is the US supposed to compensate everyone for every heinous act in its history by people that aren't alive today in some financial or symbolic way? We have to look towards the future, not be stuck in the past.
