I know my observation is anecdotal, but let's take a highly watched TV show some 30 years ago, "The Dukes of Hazzard". The Dukes car had a huge Confederate flag plastered on the roof. I heard no black person complaining or any complaints from the "civil rights" persons back then.
But even more to the point, I don't remember any black person giving a rat's a** about the Confederate flag until recently -- it was just a flag. So what's changed in under 30 years? Intense indoctrination by the Left.
Look at Free Republic. We have SJW pushing the meme that Confederacy was all about slavery and the war was all about slavery. Where did they go to school?
The left needs black voters. The best way to do that is to demonize everything and anything regarding the South and Republicans. The minorities they can’t brainwash into believing their lies they shame into voting Dem. It started with trying to revise history to convince voters that todays Republicans used to be racist Southern Democrats, the same Democrats that founded the KKK. Sadly, uneducated people will believe them, especially when promised enough. Democrats are the most racist people out there. They are counting on minority voters being stupid enough and poor enough to believe anything. Dems are still the party of slavery. The slaves now are the uneducated blacks and illegal immigrants.
The black people I mentioned that embrace the Confederate flag are mostly older and their kids have been raised with the truth. They live in the South and know the Dems are full of crap. They have white friends and know most whites in the South aren’t racists. They have white family. Heck, I have black relatives.
Before I retired, I knew some blacks at work that wanted to vote for Bush but were afraid to. The ones that did begged me not to tell anybody. Dems are proving that they are the party of racism, intimidation, shaming, violence, and anything else it takes to have control and push their evil agenda.
I’m glad they are showing their true colors. They will never win another election if they keep going down this road.
