      Occasionally, it's transplanted Southerners. But there really is not a valid reason for people with no Southern roots to ever fly that flag.https://twitter.com/jaynordlinger/status/1250533438010142722 …

      For several years, Confederate flags have appeared in my home state of Michigan. You can see them way up north, flown by descendants of men who fought and bled for the Union. What gives? Benignly, a spirit of cranky independence. Less benignly -- you know what: white nationalism.

      There's really no need for those of us who have Southern roots to fly that flag though re-runs of Dukes of Hazard are acceptable.

      I'd rather never seen it flown again outside of Civil War battlefields & museums, but I understand that it has a regional identity/heritage component that it's not really my place, as a lifelong NYer whose family came to America in the 1920s, to simply discount.

      At Ole Miss games when I was growing up, at halftime the cheerleaders would roll out what was billed as the "world's largest Confederate flag." I have wondered ever since what was the second largest Confederate flag.

      What I grew up around was people carrying pictures of Bobby Sands.

          I know that crowd. They still WAIL and GNASH about the Battle Of The Boyne like it was yesterday, yet shriek at the sight of a Confederate bandanna in the park on someone they do not know. #GetOverItpic.twitter.com/vY5KplovKp
