flying the Confederate flag?

[HedgeVeg]

We've just seen that a neighbour of ours has decided it's a great idea to fly a Confederate flag proudly in their back garden.

AIBU to think that it's spectacularly bizarre and complete dickish behaviour to fly any flag outside of sporting events fly a the Confederate flag?

(We're within the UK)

... if you ignore the enormous elephant in the room (slavery) Lee was a gallant, skillful David sticking it to the man, ie, the overbearing Goliath of the North.

General Lee has improved beyond all recognition in the years since his death, apparently...

The war in which General Lee played an important part wasn't the Revolutionary War.

It was the Civil War.

Rep said it!
They will be pretending they like the dukes of hazard but it’s a racist symbol.

If it can be done unseen I'd remove it. Its a passive aggressive statement.

Think of it as a 'racists live here' warning sign.

I hit YABU by accident but you are definitely not BU. Absolute bellends!
