And the Confederate flag is stained with the evil of slavery, it was birthed that way and cannot get away from its founding.

Following this warped line of reasoning, I guess we shouldn't fly the American flag either, since by today's PC standards, our nation was also "stained" with the alleged evil of denying the vote to black people and to women.

That's like blaming the Bible for the evils of the history of Christianity; but our nation, and the Bible, were not born in evil like the Confederate flag. What do you think our nation is birthed from?
