LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Daniels considers the Confederate flag a sign of defiance and pride for the South, while urban musicians think it should go away entirely. Daniels writes on his website he opposes slavery and has no desire to reinstate the Confederacy, but he feels Southerners view the flag as a symbol of pride in an area of the nation. Recently, activist Bree Newsome climbed a pole to remove the Confederate flag from the South Carolina statehouse, and Monica says she would have helped her climb the pole if she had been there. Big Sean says it’s time to tear down the flag because America is the land of equality.
