Woman Flies Confederate Flag Because It's Her 'Heritage' - BV Black Spin: "That flag means a lot more to me than anything I can describe to you," Caddell said. "It's my heritage and it's my right. I'm not trying to slam anybody, and I wish I wouldn't be slammed either. Yes, I could take it down, but what message does that send?" she asked. "If you don't stand for something, you'll never be anything."
Violet Saylor, a 74-year-old retired social worker who lives about three blocks away, said the flag brings back to her memories of Jim Crow in the neighborhood she has lived all her life, according to an Associated Press report:

"She shouldn't fly that flag because it represents slavery and the Ku Klux Klan that used to ride through the town, and we used to have to turn our lights off and hide behind the shades," said Saylor.
If Caddell can't understand that, and how flying a flag in the face of that is insensitive, a march is not going to change her mind.

I think their best bet is to just stay away from her. My guess is she's not the kind of neighbor you want to shoot the breeze with. I am guessing she is the kind of neighbor that spends an inordinate amount of time picking her nose, putting coals in her potbelly stove and lamenting the loss of Bob Barker as the host of the Price is Right.
