You see, if they actually knew their American history (and they don’t), they’d realize that the American flag flew over slavery for many, many decades, while the Southern flag flew over slaves for maybe 3 or 4 years. So it’s a NON-issue!

But since they’re not being taught their history, what can we expect?

The flag in question is actually the flag of the army of Northern Virginia flown by Robert E. Lee who freed the slaves at Arlington upon his inheritance.

You are assuming that these morons don’t view the American flag as racist. Don’t underestimate their level of brainwashing.
