F*#* that flag

That flag has only ever been hate.

I never gave it much thought growing up in Texas, until I read book or two by the Chicago Seven, Dellinger particularly. - then it was like a light going off and 'oh hell no, its got to go'. - along with the confederate participation statues.

Yeah, and this photo I found speaks louder than words.

A statue of Robert E Lee was JUST removed from the US Capitol building.

Why would a traitor to the USA have a statue at one of the most important government buildings for 111 years? Next to George Washington?!?

TBH, I don't think that Lee was as much of a traitor and a racist as history books paint him

The fact he led a secession in the name of (states rights to continue) slavery kinda makes your opinion wrong.

I mean, he was a traitor, but he did himself say that if he could free all the slaves in the south to end the war, he would

Perhaps but NOT for the egalitarian motives you may think.

I know, but on the bright side, he didn't like war

and Sherman said "War is Hell".....For not liking war Lee sure was in the wrong business.

I know that he was an asshole, but he gets the 'not as bad as he could've been' award

Neither was Hitler. I mean....when you think they hit the bottom, they keep diggin. Look at trump as another example.
