    1. He said it isn’t racist. He decides what the symbol means because he’s the one displaying it. Can I reasonably call your pfp racist because it means racism to me?

    2. @Grand Central  the Confederate flag has been claimed by right-wing racist groups to be a symbol of its values

    3. Uh it most certainly is racist grandma. Maybe you should do your own research Into the point of the flag? Here’s a hint. It’s about slave ownership.

  1. Well I wish I was in the land of cotton where old time sake is not soon forgotten…
    Get away
    Get away
    Get away… dixieland 😈

  2. It looked awesome on that Dukes of Hazzard’s car though!

    I’m also the guy who thinks an Indians person’s face on a hockey jersey is super cool, as a kid it thought it gave them character… but no you have to cry about that also.
    heres a tissue dear!

  3. Awe yes. The tactic of cherry picking a single outlier as an excuse to make sweeping changes you always wanted to make, but couldn’t.

  4. Can you imagine this flag being thought of as a problem….yet to burn the American flag is supported….

  5. Focus on the few to discount the many and the overall message.. at least the video explains the protesters pressured him to take it down, but that will get looked over too..

  6. I never supported the convoy but I think both sides of this debate are a little over the top. Even the convoy lawyer tried to blame the PM for the flag.
