The Battle Flag wasn’t about being “racist” then & it isn’t about being racist now.
Believe it or not, there are Southerners who happen to be Black who hold the flag near their hearts, too. They, too, have Southern ancestors.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I believe this is the majority point of view.
It’s about our heritage & definitely about our resistance to federal overreach & oppression, though.
Heh. The left is having a hissy fit & trying to say that the flags being in front of the WH had some “threatening” implication. I strongly doubt that. If our president was White & had been pulling the crap 0bama has pulled, the flags would have been there just the same.
We’re sick of Washington DC. And the South isn’t unique for that right now.
They probably would have thought I was representing the Dallas Cowboys.
