Confederate Flag
With all the controversy regarding the confederate flag, why do Ole Miss fans wave it so much?
It’s a state in the ‘deep south’ with many African-Americans. The rebel, or confederate flag, is waved at their sporting events. Today, during the Cotton Bowl, i saw many rebel flags being waved. The confederate flag is a symbol offensive to so many blacks. It just makes you wonder why the fans wave it so much. I am sure there are just as many black fans in the seats as there are white ones, and i’m sure the black ones, seeing that flag waved, were very uncomfortable.
To be honest with you, I’ve been to several Ole Miss games and while there are a certain few who insist on waving that flag they are increasingly becoming a small and marginalized minority.
To answer your question, there is certainly a vocal subset of white conservative culture that takes special pleasure in being virulently anti-PC and as offensive to minorities as possible.
