I agree with you that my statement would raise rebuttal. I voiced my opinion as to what I fell is the truth. African-Americans (Except those who re-enact......) will feel uncomfortable about someone wearing such a tartan. TRUST ME GUYS-I understand that there are many variables to the conflict from us "White-Guys" point of view, but for African-Americans, anything relative to the Confederacy is an insult. If you think otherwise, you're being delusional. Just remember that post civil-war, Confederate symbology was used intensively (Certain groups using battle flags at their "Gatherings", States adopting this symbol for State flags, etc.)

I personally do not want to insult my American brothers and sisters (Again, no Afro-Centrtric pun intended) with a tartan that would make them feel I was a hill-billy racist, nor do I want them to think that kilt wearers some how have a connection to this philosophy. You guys who feel its not a big deal, thats fine. Again-JUST MY OPINION.
