The Confederate Flag
Heritage of offensive subject matter.

In the south for some reason we still arguring over the confederate flag. And it’s a little truth to everything ask any parents when children start a fight. They throw blame but we know mostly who instigate it. And what going to solve it.
Forget the Klans they use it for start a conflict. While knowing the crisis that’s going to rise from it. So They won’t be mention from this point on. But you hear whites talk about their heritage concerning the confederate flag. And that’s logical except you don’t need a piece of material to define your heritage when it’s a good chance you been told about your history. But it’s a right to do as you please in America.
Blacks say it’s offensive or a sign of slavery or slave owners. I doubt all slave owners had a flag on their plantation. As I doubt blacks and whites can name the generals who was in charge at the beginning and ending of that war. If you can then this matter you can over look. But it was Robert E. Lee and U. S. Grant for those who don’t know.
This debate will continue even if you remove the symbol from all southern states and school. We live to debate a explosive issue. That just inside of some to argue issues.
But when you look at the issue in terms of our military. The units The Marines, The Navy, The Army, The Air Forces and every unit that fight for our freedom. Even when they sing the National anthem the flag you see is not the Confederate flag. But the American flag THAT FLIES OVER many capitals in the United States.
If flying the Confederate flag give them pride than let them. Those soldiers lost the war when they surrender to General Grant. But if people just talk about the two issues that is the driving force of confrontation they would be half way there to understanding the main objective.
Slavery existed as racism continue and that the truth. I can’t say we will ever solve a problem as we can’t really understand why the courts had to break down the Jim Crow laws that should have never existed in the first place.
And please educators let the poor people voice their opinions. You trying to sound super educated while simple folks are trying to solve a problem that lead to other problems down the road.
