RE: I don't understand; why do people defend things such as the confederate flag

From what I understand, most people who defend the confederate flag do so because to them, the confederate flag stands for Southern pride and rebellion against the government. To them, it has nothing to do with slavery and they don't support slavery.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
