If the Stars and Bars stood for oppression and discrimination against Blacks, as the leftist media like to portray, how do they explain Southerners of Black heritage also embracing it as part of their heritage?

Perhaps a simple lesson in history could show them that even former Slaves at times stood with the Confederacy against Yankees.
