Earlier today I sent Loke two numbered and one un-numbered G.50 skins in a single zip. I bet he will have it available for download pretty soon at
his website for those who are interested.
Most of the regular posters know that I've been making alternate history Confederate skins for quite awhile. I use the Confederate battle flag in my skins. Display of the flag has become controversial in the past few years as powerful political groups have worked very hard to have it banned from both public and private property. The campaign to ban the flag is based on the assertion that it is a racist symbol. That assertion is wrong - the flag, although sometimes misused, is a historical and cultural symbol representing heritage rather than hatred. One of the most notable of its defenders is H.K. Edgerton, a black man and former NAACP official who has suffered a good deal of vilification as a result of his tolerance, understanding, and sincere efforts in behalf of racial harmony.
I regret that the political campaign against the Confederate flag has made it necessary for me to choose between either abandoning a symbol that is dear to me or being wrongfully seen as a racist. I've said all I intend to say about the issue, have no wish to discuss it further except by PM, and I apologize for injecting political dialog into the forums.
