spoke, if things have fallen so low in the Confederate Pride department that you are embracing Lil Jon and his imagery, then I feel sorry for you.
Jackmannii, you’re missing the point. I’m not “embracing Lil Jon and his imagery.” (Though I’m not sure why that would make you feel sorry for me. Perhaps you could explain what you mean?)
No, I am merely using Lil Jon’s statements to illustrate the point that I’ve made all along: Not everyone who displays the Confederate flag intends it as a statement of their own racism. Some (and I would argue most) intend it only as an emblem of regional identity. It’s not unlike someone displaying an Irish flag to let people know he is Irish American, or a Puerto Rican flag to let people know he’s Puerto Rican, etc.
Let me be clear. I don’t own a flag. Wouldn’t display one if I did, because it would be discourteous to do so when others find the flag offensive.
On the other hand, my roots in the rural South are deep enough that I understand the mindset of those who do display the flag. If you see the flag flying on a house or displayed on a bumper, what should you think? Is the owner a Klan member? A “Confederate apologist”? Well, more likely than not, the person is just proud to be a Southerner, and is fiercely defensive of the only icon available to him to express that sentiment. If you assume upon seeing a Confederate flag that the owner is racist, then the bigotry you need to combat may be your own.
Have a good holiday weekend, everybody.
Perhaps it’s mainly the thought of how the people who fought under that banner would feel seeing Lil Jon and his buddies wrapped in the flag. 
If flag supporters are willing to accept LJ’s brand of self-aggrandizement, publicity-seeking, ignorance of history and in-your-face attitude in order to preserve their emblem, it is truly a sign of desperation. Actually, the in-your-face part is probably where you have the most common ground.
History continues to leave this fading symbol behind. Even here in Texas.
