i grew up beneath the mason dixon line. i live below it now and know the confederate flag means different things to different people. for many southerners it's an object of nostalgia. for others it represents regional pride and the valor of the confederate troupes. but can we finally admit that to celebrate valor in the service of an abomination is, to put it the softest way possible, unhealthy? i incorporated an icon from another example of this type of thing into the flag.
i made the swastika confederate flag sketch this morning because, isn't it time to accept that this is a big part of what the flag stands for. this is not against southerners; it's against the symbol.
