When Dylann Roof shot 9 people at an African American church, everyone assumed it was because of the rebel flag.  Those same people see that flag flying over a Confederate memorial and start protesting to take it down.  Then you have a horde of crazy rednecks getting riled up wanting to keep it up, cause they love that flag.

The debate is whether or not the flag should fly.  One says it should not, as it is racist and promotes segregation, while the other side says it represents heritage, a region of the US, and commemorates fallen soldiers.

Unfortunately, the debate has caused a lot of waves in the south.  TVLand even took the Dukes of Hazzard TV show off of TV.  The General Lee cars are not allowed to have it.  Where I live, you're not even allowed to have it on your shirt or your car.  If you dare fly it in your yard, someone's going to steal it and the next day you'll see a group of African Americans burning them on Facebook.
