Being career military, I have lived all over this country. I grew up in the South, went to school through college in the South. There may be a small minority of those displaying the Stars and Bars that are racist, but I can tell you the overwhelming majority, in my opinion, are not racist. They are Southerners, proud of their region of this country, and of traditional Southern values of family, hard work, religion, etc. I have seen just as many non-whites that are racists that I have seen whites that are racist. And most of what I've seen has occurred in the Northern and far Western states. Unfortunately, there are loud-mouths from all over that see racism in just about everything, and that makes things that much worse.
