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:
Never liked that flag but grow up historians
TIME TO START PACKING!
Ignorance at its finest
That is a part of our history. It really wasn’t about North and South. It was about slavery or not. The slave owners WERE Democrats; there we NO Republican slave owners. President Lincoln, a Republican, opposed slavery. The Democratic KKK conspired to assassinate President Lincoln at the opera, because Lincoln WAS AGAINST SLAVERY. Too bad, that the real history has been buried in the archives.
HER FACE IS A SYMBOL OF HATE ..
B******t! And pigs fly.
I brand the DOJ as traitors
Get rid of this worthless POS
Bitch. Ya think you now can take away our history? I think not! Oh, almost forgot. KISS MY WHITE$#%&!@*
Maybe we can get it back
