They hung a 30 x 50 foot Confederate Flag in Tampa, I see no real issue with this though the neighborhood were the flag was hung is predominately black. I was born in Tampa and have lived there most of my life.
Before anyone starts complaining it's not right, read up on your history, allot of blacks served on the confederate side some even owned slaves, the northern army would take white confederate soldiers as prisoners but had orders to shoot the blacks, every year a group of blacks in the sons of the confedercy hold a memorial in downtown Tampa..
