is the disgraced banner of a defeated slaveocracy. after the defeat of said slaveocracy it has popped up from time to time (outright Klan rallies aside) among those protesting: desegregation of schools, civil rights legislation, voting rights legislation, and now the simple fact that our first black president won't cave to the demands of the far right when it comes to providing health insurance for Americans of all races who cant afford it or are denied it because they are sick.
We know who they are and it may be saddening to see it still waived by the residents of the fever swamps in the 21st C.
But remember this and rejoice: every group throughout American history that has fought or protested under that disgraced rag has lost. The confederates lost, the segregationists lost, the anti civil righters lost.
This latest group of reactionary haters will lose too. In fact, once that banner is unfurled you can pretty much count on its side to lose.
