The flag was brought out of retirement in the 50s to put symbolic muscle into Jim Crow and to use the power of the state to intimidate people who were fighting for their rights. That's just the long and the short of it. Maybe the 50s are ancient history to some of you but you'd have to be awfully young to be ignorant of why that flag got flown when and where it did. The "heritage" it represented was putting people in their place.
This spring and summer, after months of people getting shot and killed by officers of the law, after a kid decided to try to start a race war by killing innocent people, and after 10 or so Republican candidates for the PRESIDENCY were too scared to denounce racist murders, public sentiment crystallized around this way of saying "Enough is enough." It isn't the end all or be all of public life. It doesn't cure cancer. It's a first step to push our politics back from a dismaying brink. Whoever wants to keep pushing toward that brink, well, that's life, ain't it?
You are disgusting. Post the statistics on those "police killings". I'd rather discuss the liberal stronghold on these communities and how much of a failure your kind are. You don't want to come close to the truth here.
You are misleading and you are the biggest part of the problem. Stop your incredibly dangerous propaganda. If it weren't for the police do you have a clue how many more black kids wouldn't have a parent? Or how many more black kids would be dead? You sit there in your comfy white neighborhood. If it were reversed, you'd be in the corner crying screaming for the law to save your ass.
The only real racist that have any pull whatsoever in todays world, are your kind, the promoters of low expectation racism which is the largest problem our country faces today.
