Treating the Confederate Flag as a hated enemy because some low life racists have misused it conflicts with Dr. Martin Luther King’s teaching that we should love our enemies. Instead of trying to ban the flag, black leaders should be embracing it so they can turn it into a symbol of racial harmony. Turning the Confederate Flag into a symbol of racial harmony would rob racists of an opportunity to misuse a popular southern symbol to further their goals

There are many ..black and white that do want harmony....its to the advantage of some “community organizers” to keep the sides riled up
Quite a bit of Dr. King’s teaching is conveniently ignored.
Sure, the racist rabble-rousers like Jesse and Al and Louis greatly benefit, but who is it who keeps everyone in the dark? Or worse, engage in out and out lies? The public schools and the media.
You have to ask yourself what race and what gender and what sexual orientation runs the media, and the public school system?
How The Battle of The Confederate Battle Flag Came To Be
Because it was under threat of questioning and possible impeachment proceedings by its so called political opposition the regime needed to defer or stop any movement toward this. It was necessary to use a political device usually atrributed to Saul Alinsky but used by the nazi and commie’s like Stalin with the “Kulacks” through racial division. It created persons engaged in felonious assults on authority who were black youths into; “Victims of an evil society” (thus approving their actions) out of whole cloth.
The regime began with the Zimmerman case which resulted in a series of assults by black youths on completely innocent whites,”hispanics”, and asians who were either targeted or wandered near or through black gang infested areas. The perpetators excuse; The reported “cold blood killing of Treyvon Martin because he was black”
It led to a score or more deaths and serious injuries. And it was met with silence while this was happening. Neither the locqatious POTUS or his political opposition uttered as much as a “Now!,Now! or a “tsk!,tsk!”.
Those killings were referenced by the Charleston Church massacre perpetrator in his crazed manifesto.

Naturally when it was discovered that mention of those score of murders were used in this nut cases’s “manifesto” the reaction was....“Well we can’t let that out. Oh ! His face book has him holding a Confederate battle flag, (Which to many is simply an ensign of protest and rebellion), that must be his excuse “The Confederates made him do this horrible act ! Let’s get them !” And they’re doing a good job of perverting what it’s used for
One argument that I have not heard In the mainstream is that All of the bans target Non-hateful use of the flag. If they ban everything other than hateful use then that is all they will have left. As usual, the left is going after the wrong targets.
