    So your state has glorified a mentally unstable murderer? One who murdered out of spite and rage without thought or conscience... that is not glory; that is tryanny.

    He's highlighted as one of the great people of our state when we learn about state history; he really was a champion of the abolitionist movement. And compared to those douchebags who burned Lawrence down (twice!), John Brown was a saint.

    The violence of others does not make one's violence righteous, perhaps justified at best.

    The Civil War marked a huge mark of Jeffersonian democracy. To think it is solely based on race is as silly as saying race wasn't an issue at all.

    I think the question is, "does supporting the Confederate States of America make you racist?"

    I do not find them anymore above Mr. Brown, their efforts to dominant the state lead to their own downfall and not to mention their devious efforts that lead to their position of power within the states' politicshad already severly ruined their image to me. The only difference between the two examples is their allegences and the number of participants.

    No, owning the flag does not make someone racist. They are only racist if they support what the south stood for.

    The idea is they change the perspective on what the South stood for.

    Well I think the idea is people trying to assert the dominance of their own self asserted meaning on something. The fact is, it means a lot of different things, for a lot of different people.
