Seems rather irritating if you ask me, maybe smart to step back from it? I don't know, 't is what I usually do. xP

Well, make sure to take breaks and not let it affect your sanity. Stress is bad.

Also arguing often seems pointless to me, debating however.

A flag itself cannot be inherently racist. The only meaning it has is the meaning that an individual or society decides to give it. The southern states had more that they wanted to stand for than simply slavery and racism. Life in the old southern states, and even in today's "modern" south is far different than life in the old northern states and in what is the rest of "modern" America.

I'd imagine the majority of people who choose to fly it aren't trying to say that they still hate black people; most of them are probably just celebrating parts of their heritage in the same way any others would. Sure, the racism and slavery is a very large blemish on that history, but every culture has its good and bad parts.

The American flag can be seen as racist towards Native Americans and others whose land we've taken, but you'd be hard-pressed to find an American who feels that the flag is offensive in any way. It's all in the eye of the beholder, and, as such, I don't see how we can cast it aside as an inherently racist symbol.

It's pointless, like the majority of the things that people take offense to these days. It makes no difference in the lives of your everyday person if I decide to fly a Confederate flag in my yard in the same way that I can fly any other flag in my yard. Should we ban the German flag because the Nazis used to be there? Should we ban the Japanese flag because they were also our enemies in World War II?

People are meant to have freedom of speech and expression, which is violated by banning the Confederate flag.

Why does it always seem to be me looking at you, you looking at me?
