text: If I felt comfortable with any person displaying that flag, I might ask. But it doesn't matter. Nowhere did I mention repulsiveness, condemning. Instead, I find it unbelievable that some still display the Confederate flag no matter what the reason. I understand that some are old school, stubborn, and not racist. Like the letter writer, I never gave those flags much thought, although certainly not a fan.   The horrible event in 2015 changed some things quickly.  Several big companies would no longer sell Confederate merchandise,  VA cemeteries would no longer display the flags, states wanting the emblem removed from their flags, license plates, flags removed from capitol grounds, etc.  No mystery why it would give anyone pause to see Confederate flags displayed.
