It's not just a flag

After watching the "True Colors" film in class, it got me thinking. There is all of this justification how someone is not racist, in society. But where I'm from there are a lot of "hick's" having confederate flags as tattoo's, logo's on their trucks, etc. I was always offended that they would in a sense "wear it proudly". A girl I know just relates the flag with being a country girl. But that flag has so much more meaning. It just really bothers me the ignorance to tattoo something like that on your body. It's making a statement, to me, that their racist.
