Reply #84: You know, I went to visit an uncle last summer [View All]

And he had this half South Carolina (the palm tree) and half Confederate flag in his back yard. It was disturbing (I did find out from my mom that he was born in SC, but only lived there until he was 2). My cousin (his son-in-law) requested me as a friend on facebook, but his "pic" was of the Confederate flag, so I didn't approve him.

I've never heard a racist comment from either of them, and I don't talk politics around my family. I did have an Obama bumper sticker on my car when I drove up and it had been there the couple of times previously I had seen him, so I doubt he would have said anything around me in the first place. While I've never heard anything racist coming from his mouth, and the Civil War has never come up, just the fact that the flag was there made me lose any respect I had for him and honestly it was disgusting.
