CONFEDERATE FLAG...

Ok. I am from north Alabama im from one of the most white counties Cullman County... But moved to Huntsville Al which is a melting pot Culturally due to military and NASA ..Well most of my church family is black and the confederate flag offends them & I believe it is offensive also. But most of my uncles aunts cousins exc.. Support it yet call themselves Christian. Well Jesus taught Love not offense or hate... So my Question is do you believe the Confederate flag is offensive or just part of southern history. And if you know it offends should you ignore or do away with it?
