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:
Islamo-Jew Obama made a big mess of the U.S. these past 8 years.
I could care less what she brands. It is a part of our history and you can not change history!!!
Wrong. ..its a symbol of heritage and history. …can’t change that
Stop this$#%&!@* Like it or not, that was our flag. Our country’s flag. That stupid$#%&!@*in the DOJ promotes this hate$#%&!@* And how is this a good thing? I don’t see it.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPREW YOUR CORRUPT WAYS ON ANY AMERICAN!!!
Whose great idea was taking a former official flag flown in the USA and decided it is a symbol of hate? When DOJ decides Black Lives Matter, who condone Cop Killing, are a symbol of hate I will have more respect.
How soon can she be gone?????
They have nothing to do.
She is the symbol of HATE !!!
Soon as they are out we are going to undo the ignorance.
