Racism is not the way to win elections in Georgia. And no matter how you cut it, racism is at the heart of the old state flag. If the GOP doesn't admit that, it will lose elections. If the part wants to reach out to minorities like Ralph Reed says it does, the flag had better not come up. If it does, you can write off yet another election, just like the last 130 years.
Racism is a human trait.
A flag is an inanimate object. I'll admit that you have the liberal mantra down very well. And what's more, you don't know your Georgia history too well, either. He was, more or less, installed by military occupation forces. Oh, in case you weren't at the state GOP convention, Reed went on the record stating that he opposed changing the flag and that he would support a referrendum or constitutional amendment on the issue.
