I posted this on Facebook yesterday:

Seen today. One of 6-8 I saw. Something I'm seeing daily.

The Confederate flag issue isn't an abstraction down here in the South. It's not about racism to Southerners, it's about culture, and a lot of people resent their culture being shamed and erased. Flawed? Of course, like every subculture under a microscope. Be careful of suppressing symbols of others; think of your own core symbology, and consider how you would react to calls to pull it down and erase it from public view.

While suppression of the Confederate flag is moving fast, backlash is building. Whither "celebrate diversity", "coexist", and "tolerance"? Were they just a ruse until power could be achieved?

If ø is against it there must be something positively American to it.
