Their words matter to me as well and I am sure other flag keepers. You do NOT have the moral high ground because you think you know a persons heart (racism is a very strong accusation). The point is when you start making generalizations about people you do not really know or understand be prepared for the backlash. Answer this one question: Why do you not do something about the lack of African Americans in Sowal? They hardly exist in Sowal. Suggestion: give future development to African American businesses. Another suggestion: require all rentals to have at least 25% minorities. Why not use your energy this way instead of putting all this BS on a little flag.
I don't think this issue has much do do with a desire for change in demographics, which by the way would probably benefit those in favor of incorporation. The issue is much more about whether we want our local government, the grounds of our judicial system no less, to represent an antiquated repugnant ideology or not. Nothing personal, but I think the shoe fits you perfectly.
