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:
They even removed the American flag except for photo ops !
It is part of our history. Can’t erase that!!!!!
They forget that the white man fought for their freedom and the flag had nothing to do with race now thatObama is gone let the division end
there are alot of thing that need to be changed. The DOJ is probably #1 on Trumps list
So? I brand the DOJ as a symbol of hate.
It is NOT HATE, Loretta.
It’s our HERITAGE!
She’s toast!
FIRR HER
Pack it up.
Well i just took my flag out
