Confederate Flag Madness

Kanye West was wearing a very interesting jacket. The jacket had a Confederate flag on the sides of the jacket. People believe that this is not only a marketing move, he also is making a statement stating that ''This is his flag'. He wanted to show his side of the flag to show that he can wear it whatever he wants. He made a song called New Slaves, and he used the confederate flag to express his way of not making it a big deal. Like the word "Nigger" the word is now being used everyday and every hip hop artist is now flipping it to make it not as bad as it was. I think Kanye should do whatever he wants. He knows what it means and he is wearing it. What do you think about the whole situation?
