There's more'n a few Black Christian career military around here. Like most vets, most of the ones I've met lean Conservative, including the outspoken Minister of a major local church.

So dunno how he feels about Martin Luther King street, or Cesar Chavez Boulevard for that matter.

Anyways, what does that have to do with the flag issue?

It's "offensive to some", ergo it's analogous.

You continue to hide from the logical dismemberment of your position.
