Wednesday night Country Music Star Trace Adkins rocked the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting in a performance which has caused a bit of a stir due to the singers choice of earpiece.

Adkins whose earpiece was decorated like the Confederate Flag, said following some criticism that he’s “a descendant of Confederate soldiers,” and he “did not intend to offend anyone.”

Some claim the confederate flag is a way to pay tribute to their southern heritage but to others it’s a symbol of a shameful period when America practiced slavery. 

Do you feel continued use of the Confederate Flag in some way represents racism or do you believe people continue to honor their southern heritage with it?
