What's your other FR handle?

What's being lost in the shuffle is that the flag causing Pavlovian reaction was the Confederate battle flag which flew over a magnificent army for four years with only minimal reference to slavery. If you super yankees want to attack slavery, try the Brits (1619-1776), the Americans(1776-1865). Follow that up with a consideration of Democrat imposed apartheid and Jim Crow (post civil war to the 1960's) Makes the Confederate battle flag problem seem minor.
