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:
idiots
And your a dumb ass
The minority telling the majority what to do. Bah
When,are they going to learn that nobody cares what she thinks. She is trash and everyone knows it!
say what you will, but very soon you will no longer be saying much of anything, remember that now the House and the Senate are majority rule of Republicans and soon the Supreme courts will be too. and anything you say will not have much leverage.
The American people brand the DOJ a symbol of corruption.
No, but you and your liberal cronies have. You need to learn history.
Idiot
DOJ Do not and cannot Take that stamen Ever This is part of our history So Stay out of it
I don’t see too much difference between the Confed flag and the Nazi swastika flag – and neither do too many southern boys either. Yes I know both of these parties had apparently honourable generals and brave soldiers but what they stood for was abhorrent.
