95. For many African Americans the confederate flag is as offensive as a Nazi
flag, and it represents not only slavery but genocide, Jim Crow, and many horrors you will never begin to understand, myself included.

Is that clear to everyone here?!?

Now, will you continue to excuse it, fly it, apologise for it under the guise of "freedom of speech?"

I dare any of the apologists on this goddam thread refute this!!! Go ahead and play "Devils's Advocate!"
