It’s been a bad year for the Confederate flag. The U.S Capitol removed flags featuring the confederate battle emblem from its grounds and the flag itself has been removed from state buildings and public lands across the south. The flag’s reputation has taken such a downward turn that the Department of Justice has now decided that the brandishing the banner is a symbol of hate.
The confederate flag has taken many forms throughout our country’s history, but most people recognize the “southern cross” hat flew alongside Robert E. Lee’s North Virginia Army as the premier flag of the confederacy.
In modern times, the flag has been flown to represent southern pride, state’s rights, and, sometimes, white supremacy. But this year, the flag has a become a symbol for only the latter.
It’s no longer become acceptable to display the flag for any reason other than racism, and doing so can’t get you in trouble with the law.
See how one man’s display of the flag got him charged with a hate crime on the next page:

it is a symbol of hate. . . Just not the hate every one thinks of it as. Its a hate twards a big government. . . The cival war actuly had very little to do with slavery. It just so happend to be the straw that broke the cammles back when it was starting to be abolished. . . The people just got tired of the big government telling them what to do and faught for what they believed.
You should start looking for another job.

Hope you skip town with the rest who said they would leave the USA because TRUMP won the election your days are numbered.
Go to the library and read the true history of the civil war and what that flag stands for.
The DOJ is a symbol of hate and really stands for Destruction of Justice
Not a problem. This is just another stupid Obama policy that Trump’s AG undo. Like it never happened.
I ban the DOJ as a hate group! I’ll be flying my flag proudly!
