On a smaller scale, it reminds me of the controversy about the Confederate battle flag. To many, it represents a culture of fighting heavyhanded government, state values, southern pride, etc., and to others it represents racism or even treason against American values.
If you try to tell someone that their symbol means something other than what they say it does, you're probably a conceited prick. HOAs are, for the most part, a cancer on society and you should actively refuse to participate in one.

Now everybody's like, "AHH BAD FLAG!"

Yea... A state's right to own slaves...

Edited by Majin_Buddha_: 3/26/2017 11:56:03 AMNot everyone supported slavery in the south. Mark Twain was actively against it, but supported the south on its right to secede from the union. The flaw with that war was simply that it was constitutional to secede and the war should've never happened. But Lincoln brilliantly turned it into a race thing and destroyed any positive pr for the south. Another thing to note is that the emancipation proclamation clearly states the slaves in the south were to be freed, but nothing about the north. There were a few northern states that still has slaves and would've joined the south if he would've forced them to release their slaves.

I'd be Ok if that's what people who fly the Confederate flag were trying to say. But in my 40 years of living I've not met a single person who fly's the confederate flag that isn't to some degree racist.
