>Are they slaves today? Do you consider them to be victims of their ancestry?

It ain't just about slavery. Black people have been oppressed in this country, particularly in the South, since the Civil War. The Confederate flag flew all over the place in the South during the civil rights movement, and the sentiments behind it are still around today.

>There's a point where you have to let go of the past. People who fly the Confederate flag haven't let go of the past, but that doesn't mean we have to do likewise.

Only if you think it's only about the distant past. It isn't.
