"Appropriating our history?" Who put you or your ilk in charge of being the final authority on history?It goes beyond 40 years, back 100 years with the Daughters of the Confederacy appropriating our history and pushing Lost Cause justifications and erecting monuments in opposition of Civil Rights.40 years ago, the Confederate flag just symbolized "Dixie," at least so far as I knew. It was a flag of the South. Then the white supremacists adopted it and blew the symbol all to shit. It's their fault people look so negatively on it now.
I still don't get what the Big Democrats here are trying to accomplish though, dragging up all this "traitor" stuff and reopening the Civil War. It's some kind of campaign tactic when you see rightwinger, Crepitus and LoneLaugher all leading the charge on the same topic a few months before the election. Official blue platform, all the way. But why?
It's not an attempt to appear "woke." The Dems got that one sewn up already. All this harping on the South being "traitors" is nothing but divisive sniping, and it is really getting people emotional, like they always do about their flags, their states, their homes. I don't care if they get rid of the Confederate flag. That's fine considering the crew that's appropriated it. But all this judgmental "traitor" business oughta stop.
Put the negroes in their place
