That Flag Is Not Offensive to Everybody (And There Are Quite a Few of Us)

JULY 20, 2020


**  Trump says Confederate flag represents South and 'freedom of many things', insists it isn't offensive.  (After all that has been going on with Confederadication, that can't be true at all.  However, BLMers and Democrats need to know that that flag is not offensive to many people and these attacks on the flag and especially on the monuments is very hurtful.  And, there are a lot of us.  Hopefully this will be remembered at the polls.  I know I am not going to vote for any Democrats here in Illinois other than our county board chairman.  As far as president, I am hoping not to have to vote for Trump, but may be forced to because of all this trampling on me.  Time to back off, guys.

I would like to say that I find groups like the KKK, American Nazis and white supremacists carrying the Confederate flag (or U.S. flag) offensive.  Come on guys, the SCV and UDC did not give you permission to carry or use our flag for your misbegotten   goals.

**  Defying Trump, lawmakers move to strip military bases of  Confederate names.  (New York Times.  They've got to be loving this.  Of course, most of the members of Congress wanting the name change are Democrats.)

**  Pentagon bans Confederate flag on US bases despite Trump's opposition.

I Also Find BLM Flags, Banners, Signs and Especially When The  Letters Are Written on Confederate Monuments Highly Offensive.  --Old Secesh
