I disagree with your unfortunate opinion.  It is easy to say that the rebel
flag is nothing more than a sign of your home, and it is for you, but not
for Blacks who reside in the South.  For example, how would you like to go
to court with a black judge who displays the Black Panther Flag? 
Furthermore, the rebel flag was added to the state flag of Georgia in this
century to send a message that the people in power (Whites) would never
give in to integration, which included such places as hotels.  I hope you
are able to look at your opinion objectively, and hopefully you will be
able to put yourself in another person's shoes.
