You’re absolutely right that I neglected to describe the differences between supremacists and secessionists. I completely agree that there’s no reason that a secessionist would have to be a supremacist. Or vice versa. Thank you for your comment.

Mr. Rodgers,
Why do you automatically link “supremacists” and “secessionists” in 2008? It has to be because you, like so many historically challenged folks, cannot image that modern day secessionists in the South are motivated by anything other than white supremacy and hatred or that their understanding of Mr. Lincoln’s War might be grounded in their knowledge of what was lost, in the realm of Liberty, by the Confederate States of America’s subjugation. As Chairman of the Virginia League of the South, we simply believe with all our heart that our families and our States would be far better off as independent, self-governing Nation States. You apparantly cannot think outside the box that you’ve been conditioned to accept.
Looking toward a better tomorrow for all Southerners, white and black, I am proud to be working toward peaceful Secession. Stop listening to the race hustlers at the SPLC/NAACP who profit, financially and politically, by trying to link supporters of secession, in the past, and today, with something ugly.

Some supremacist and secessionist groups still exist in America. Some of them like to hold rallies on our Statehouse grounds. When they do so, they pretend that the Confederate flag supports their efforts. If the Confederate flag is not flying when these groups hold their rallies, then it is protected from their pretension.
