    the 33% who do think the confederate flag is racist sounds pretty similar to the amount of people who populate the far far left. Another left wing b.s. narrative bites the dust.



    A new CNN poll has found that a majority of Americans believe the Confederate flag shouldn’t fly over government property, but most do not see it as a racist symbol.

    57% of Americans see the flag more as a symbol of Southern pride than as a symbol of racism, while 33% believe it is more a symbol of racism and 5% believe it is a symbol for both equally. How Americans feel about the issue breaks down sharply along racial lines: 66% of whites believe the flag represents Southern pride, while 72% of blacks believe it represents racism.

    54% of Americans support taking down Confederate flags on government property, while Americans are divided within the margin of error about whether companies should stop selling them. But large majorities oppose redesigning state flags that feature the symbol (57%), renaming streets and highways named after Confederate leaders (68%), and removing tributes to those who fought for the Confederacy (71%).

    You had to emphasize "far far" because up to now the bad guys have comprised 47%. 47% is closer to 57% than it is to 33%.
