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:
and now its time to bring out the rope..
My Great Grandfather was in the Andersonville Prison camp. I always considered that flag as part of history. Obama was just out to destroy our history.
We brand you as a symbol of hate
THATS OK$#%&!@*.. JUST SWIM FOR THE DRAIN…
Only because they made it a symbol of hate. Personally i feel that those who make an object a symbol of hate are the real haters. That flag never did a damn thing but hang from a pole. Speaking of things hanging, Lynch, Obama and Clinton, you best start working on those neck muscles, it may not hurt as much!
I say , now she can leave our country alone !!!
This part of America’s history idiots
