It happens to be that only white people have ancestors who made up The Confederate States of America. So NATURALLY mostly white people carry the flag.
How hard is to grasp this concept?

In fact, there were many thousands of "free blacks" who lived in the Confederate States of America during what you call "Southern sovereignty".
Free Blacks in the South: Why Did They Stay? - The Root
But the ancestors of those free blacks are not flying the confederate battle flag today. So that leads me to believe that the confederate flag represents something darker than simply "respect to southern sovereignty, in respect to valor etc" like you claim. Otherwise, those black descendants would also fly that flag. |
