I don’t care for the Stars and Bars. Never have. Never will.

There. I said it.

“I don’t care for the Stars and Bars.”

I think they were wrong also. But if things like the statues are taken down, and the way the public education system distorts, or outright lies about things, can you trust our kids to get the proper education to learn from our history? If BLM is so interested in trying to make change, then talk to someone alive that can do something. Violence only lowers the intelligence of the situation.

In 1992, the largest two black gangs in America, the crips and the bloods in Los Angeles, got together during the Rodney King incident and proposed this to stop ther violence:

This is how things get started. Are their demands unreasonable? Many are. But some should have been done already and a dialog is being opened. Start the haggling.

I don't either, however destroying these symbols that have been traditionally tolerated is about promoting Marxist ideology rather than combating racism. We should defend these symbols for the following reasons:

• Preserving our history
• Recognizing and respecting other cultures (Southerners)
• Combating Marxism

I fully support your right to your opinion....having said that.... the Stars and Bars are part of me and my family’s heritage and we don’t care who likes it or not. If it is ever banned from public places then it will be flown from a lot of private places!!!
