(13,446 posts)It's private property, and it is a business that lives or dies by the opinions of the people who decide if they want to spend cash there or not. I see that as being a completely different thing than flying a confederate flag over a public facility or setting a statue honoring a confederate on publicly owned property.
Gonna get real blunt here, and I'll probably piss off a few folks with what I'm saying. Fair warning, stop reading now if you are an easily butthurt confederate apologist.

I defy anybody to look me in the eye and tell me they are somehow proud of traitorous loser ancestor. We ALL remember the south tried to LEAVE the United States, and they DID in fact lose that war, bigly. At a huge expense in dead and dying people, the "glorious south" got their asses kicked and surrendered at Appomattox. The fact they were traitors, along with claiming to be proud of ancestors that presumed to profit off the blood and involuntary sweat of other people has nothing to do with "Pride" and everything to do with code words for hate. The ONLY takeaway from any of that entire war needs to be that the US has always been determined to at least attempt to move forward even if it has been at glacial speed.
SMDH.
