[@darkwolf687]The problem is that a lot of people don't feel as if its them taking offense, but as if they're being literally attacked. These are recent scars for a lot of people and I think say "oh get over it" is a little unfair, the last lynching took place in the [i]60s[/i], racially based crimes still continue in the US, in fact I think something like 56% of our domestic terrorist activity comes from extremist right wing racist groups-- hell, people can, will, and do see the church shooter who started this discussion, and associate him with the confederate flag and the hatred some who fly it might harbor.
