So what? Slavery was legal in this country under the American flag. Do you support destruction of American history and icons from that period?
“So what? Slavery was legal in this country under the American flag.”
Yes, and then a Civil War (you probably call it the War of Northern Aggression - I prefer War of Northern Victory) was fought, under that flag, in part to end slavery, and which, in fact, ultimately resulted in the end of slavery under the flag.
By contrast, the traitors who fought (and lost) under the Confederate flag were fighting for a cause that sought to protect slavery. Slavery under that flag ended only with the defeat of the flag and the cause it stood for.
Arguing that the two flags are similar with respect to slavery is pure ignorance.
If you read my post rather than reacting to dog whistles, you’d have noticed that I OPPOSE destruction of such icons. I may not like what they stand for, but I adamantly disagree with calls to destroy them.
