That's a good point. I grew up in rural Ohio a couple decades ago, and confederate flags were quite popular. In my youth, I remember going to one guy's trailer to bring back some more beer, and every threshold in his trailer had a confederate flag. Many of the people in the little, almost all-white towns, were somewhat afraid of the somewhat bigger towns that had a decent black population. I still see similar things where I live now, where my older neighbors living outside of a major city, are somewhat afraid of the city. Curiously, I live in the actual south now, and don't see confederate flags nearly as often than I did in rural Ohio.
