What Are Confederate Flags? Canada, Louisiana, St. Louis and Gainesville

JULY 7, 2022

**  An epic new ad  from Republicans explains why Confederate flags are shameful and treasonous.  (From Upworthy.  That flag will never be shameful and treasonous to me, but I sure hate it when white supremacists wave it.)

**   Feds seek prison for  Capitol rioter who had Confederate flag.  (They sure got upset about that flag being in there.  Thos epeople who illegally enetered the Capitol were rioters, but what were the BLMers back in 2020?)

**  Confederate flag in  Wheatley, Ontario sparks concern, but officials lack authority to remove it.

**  Our views:  Louisiana separates itself further from its Confederate past.  (The Advocate)

**  St. Louis school now honors pioneering black educator after dropping Confederate's name.  (Formerly Kennard School.  Now the Betty Wheeler School.  She is deserving of the honor.   But again, why do all schools renamed have to be for Blacks?)

**  Protesters  call Gainesville 'Most Racist Small Town in Confederate States of America'.

Let's See. These People Want the Confederate Monuments Taken Down?-- Part 1

The murder of George Floyd was tragic, but so are these.

From the June 2, 2020, ABC News.

**  Four police officers shot in St. Louis protests.  (Please, let's stop calling these protests.  They are clearly riots.  But at least we know the riots weren't because of the Confederate monument in Forrest Park which has already been taken down and the reason for my boycott on St. Louis.)

**  New York City imposed a curfew to prevent another night of destruction that included the breakin and looting of the iconic Macy's store.  People rushed into the Nike store carrying out armloads of good.  Wreckage littered the inside of an AT&T store.

**  Cicero, Illinois--  Two people were killed during protests.  Sixty were arrested.  Looters broke into a liquor store and other businesses.

And this wasn't even Chicago where looters attacked the downtown with much destruction over the weekend.  And, in the meantime shootings in Chicago, mostly Black on Black for May 31-June 6:  Shot and Killed:  27, Shot and Wounded:  117.

**  Buffalo, New York-- A vehicle plowed into a group of  law enforcement officers injuring at least two.

Follow up on this:  Three police officers were injured and the driver and occupants of the car have been caught.  They were not white people.
