"Reported"

LOL, knock yourself out, snowflake.

To be fair, I do try to avoid personal insults. But in your case, nothing else seems to fit.

I hope you bought a lot of those flags!

I know there were visitors from quite a few countries, but I don’t know how many Brits specifically. Our local news interviewed a family from Great Britain, however.

I get why confederate flag lovers get angry when confronted with its history. Its history of being pro-slavery is not very Conservative.

Confederate Constitution

Article I, Section 9, Clause 4
“No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.”

Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1

“The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired.”

Article IV, Section 3, Clause 3

“The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several Sates; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form States to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected be Congress and by the Territorial government; and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories shall have the right to take to such Territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the States or Territories of the Confederate States.”

Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1

“The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired.”

A symbol (flag) can mean different things to different people.
The Stars and Bars Flag is a symbol of defiance of the federal control of the States.

Pure hypocrisy.

She will not even answer Pelham’s question that “proves” her so-called “study point”, regarding the US flag and slavery.
