Boycotting Georgia? That would only hurt them, much (if not most) of Georgia's population is black. Like people keep saying, it would only be hurting themselves. Geez, black associations can be so dumb. Like election President Clinton into the Black Hall of Fame. I mean, are they confused or what? oOo:

My whole deal with the Confederate flag is this:
We're now the United States of America. Each state has it's own individual flag to represent it. If there is a flag that replaced the Confederate one in Georgia, it should stay that way. We are no longer in the Civil War or those times, there is no North or South, keep it United!

Joe, I think they realize they are united now, but it's still part of the history, so they want to keep it. I don't think Georgia will try to succeed or anything.
It's like saying because Australia isn't under British rule anymore, they shouldn't be allowed to have the British flag included in theirs...

Lones rangers got a point Joe. I'm the last one here who would support the southern cause in any way, but its part of these states history...if the majority of people think its alright to have the CSA flag, then they should be allowed to fly it. Hell they have a statue of Robert E. Lee in the Virginia capital building along with busts of other famous confed. generals and prominet figures, I dont see anyone whining about that.

Well I guess that's true. Historic Richmond town (A part of Staten Island) still puts on Civil War re-enactments every month or so, and they wave the confederate flag over the town, so I guess that's kinda relating to Georgia's history.

Here in Virginia, Robert E. Lee is taught to be a genius in the schools, because he actually was. He didn't agree with slavery all that much, the only reason he fought was because VA was a Confederate state and he was loyal to VA. Also, up in Arlington National Cemetary, his house is kind of like a memorial, a white marble building standing on the top of a hill overlooking the cemetary. It's all just about the states remembering their history.

Oh but Lone Ranger...the cemetary was put on his land around his home as a sort of revenge during the war.

The NAACP has been boycotting South Carolina for the past three years over a Confederate banner that flies on the Statehouse grounds. The Confederate emblem is not part of the South Carolina flag.
Supporters of the Confederate emblem say it represents Southern heritage, while blacks and others say it represents racism and slavery.
