A rock band origins in Florida known to be the pillar of Southern Rock - a white band and a white mans TV show both embraced by the confederate flag doesn’t change the fact the flag was and is a symbol of slavery and racism. This calling out of that flag didn’t just happen from a vacuum.
You and your pals are wrong and on the wrong side of this if you think the confederate flag is nostalgic, some Southern Comfort - home Sweet home by the American campfire. S’mores for everyone, everyone but the Negros.
