That’s as false as false can be, of course. No person with even a cursory knowledge of historical facts could reach the conclusions you reached. The Civil Rights movement didn’t start until 1963...are you joking? Rosa Parks, the sit-ins, forced integration, etc. had all been going on well before that, and the Confederate Flags’ revival was not on April 12, 1961 - it was before that, clearly as a symbol of resistance to civil rights. Besides which, it was still a flag representing a regime founded primarily on the principles of white supremacy and slavery. Those are objective facts.

No person would reach that conclusion except those of us who lived through those years and remember them, versus your public school ‘education’ about the 50s and 60s.
Civil rights protests were sporadic and isolated before King’s 1963 march on Washington, and even then it was a couple of years before Lyndon Johnson would sign the Civil Rights bill. The years following that were marked by hundreds of urban riots and turmoil, particularly throughout cities outside the South. You’d know that if you had any pesonal knowledge of the times, but naturally you don’t. You only “know” what you see in movies and what you imagine must have happened.
