If the Confederacy is your heritage, then IDGAF about your heritage
The Confederacy made it incredibly clear that their main reason for seceding was based in the preservation of slavery. The vice president of it even said in a speech that the fundamental reason that the Confederacy would succeed and the Union would fail because the Confederacy viewed the Negro as inferior to the white man.
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth. " - “Corner Stone” Speech Alexander H. Stephens Savannah, Georgia March 21, 1861 http://teachingamericanhistory.org/library/document/cornerstone-speech/
Don't wear that flag and then tell me it's about heritage. If that's what you consider your heritage than I truly don't care about your heritage and I will disrespect it without another thought. I really don't care.
