It’s been a bad year for the Confederate flag. The U.S Capitol removed flags featuring the confederate battle emblem from its grounds and the flag itself has been removed from state buildings and public lands across the south. The flag’s reputation has taken such a downward turn that the Department of Justice has now decided that the brandishing the banner is a symbol of hate.
The confederate flag has taken many forms throughout our country’s history, but most people recognize the “southern cross” hat flew alongside Robert E. Lee’s North Virginia Army as the premier flag of the confederacy.
In modern times, the flag has been flown to represent southern pride, state’s rights, and, sometimes, white supremacy. But this year, the flag has a become a symbol for only the latter.
It’s no longer become acceptable to display the flag for any reason other than racism, and doing so can’t get you in trouble with the law.
See how one man’s display of the flag got him charged with a hate crime on the next page:
No, its a symbol of Historynot hate !! Hate is in the beholder !!
Is she gone yet? If not, how soon?
You still here !obamas gone !
Its only Hate because you make it that way Grow the hell up and come back to realty the confederate flag has been around back in the Civil War days and it was a designation from the North and the South The DOJ is a bunch of DUMBASSES. So take your hatred b******t and shove so far up your$#%&!@*so that your friends and family will have to file a missing persons report on your sorry$#%&!@*.. Loretta you ignorant$#%&!@*!!
We the American people have been heard, we will have it back!!!!!!
Maybe we can bring it back!! I like that flag but have forgotten what the stars and the way the crossing of the strs mean!! Anyone know!!
I think that Loretta Lynch and upper management of the DOJ of the USA has become a symbol of hate and corruption. They are more concerned with the movement of agendas than actual justice. It didn’t start with her either. The DNC has always been the party of hate, blame, bait and switch. Hatred in any form should be stamped out so go after hate groups like the KKK, or BLM you don’t go after history. President Lincoln understood that this nation had to heal after the Civil War. When he heard that General Lee had surrendered he ordered the band to play Dixie. You do not seek to destroy history or else you are doomed to repeat it.
She’s another mental midget!
STFU. You’re days are numbered too, and it’s a small number
Not any more! Yea Trump!
