I think you misread my statement. Because I'm not a racist or a bigot is why I choose to see the flag as a symbol of state's rights, that has nothing to do with why i don't own one. I also don't own a TX flag, that doesn't mean I'm against the state. But in TX there are plenty of racists and bigots who fly that flag for different reasons. Personally I support anyone's right to fly any flag they want, even a nazi flag. Free speech is what this country is founded on. -Kyle
