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:
Symbol of is it your skin is black
One who want a great sleep and send them to Africa and let him stay over there
I brand her face as a symbol of ignorance.
Thnk of her sitting in that courtroom taking the 5th and of her answers before Gowdy. She needs justice served upon herself and the Obama Cartel.
They jumped all over our history.
Invistagate under the RICO act the Clinton Obama Cartel.
Like it or not ….it is a part of Our History….just as the statues of Confederate Generals are……like it or not History is History!
THIS DIPSTICK IS MORE OF A SYMBOL OF HATE, THAN THIS FLAG!
The only hate is in the doj.
Please go back to school and learn your history.
