"Hate not Heritage" - Why a dog breeder just lost our business.

[benburch]

We have been looking for a second dachshund so that our current one can have a companion. One dog breeder downstate has puppies that we have been looking at and considering until today. Today we looked at their web site, and in the current crop of puppy pictures, they are all wearing a bandana covered with Confederate Battle Flags.

That was a deal breaker.

That symbol was 100% dead until the Civil Rights Movement started, and was resurrected only to symbolize White opposition to the end of the Jim Crow laws, Voting Rights, Affirmative Action, and School Integration/Desegregation. It NOT, as some of these liars maintain, about Southern Pride or Southern Heritage. It is a White Power symbol pure and simple, just as is the Klansman's Robe or the Burning Crucifix.

For those that might be confused, imagine how you would react if somebody had a German Nazi flag with the Swastika to celebrate their Heritage as the grandchildren of an SS Officer...

I will never patronize any business that displays the Confederate Battle Flag. Period.
