the "new" flag is based on (similar to) an early confederate flag, but...

for "most" it does not evoke the strong feelings and response that the "stars and bars" do, because it is not recognized as such. i didnt know the new flag is actually based on the early confederate symbol, and frankly dont care. to me it represents a new day in GA, and i will embrace the old "stars and bars" in its proper place: the history books.

was the S&B offensive to me? no. did the S&B hold a singular meaning to many? certainly. i am more than happy to relagate the S&B to the history books to promote harmony and a better understanding between citizens.

as for parks and museums and such: the carving at stone mtn is in its rightful place, a moment of history frozen in time. you can chose to visit and embrace it or not.

you SHOULD proudly display ANY flag that has meaning to YOU on YOUR own property! just dont force me to adopt it, or expect me to embrace it. "dont tread on me"
