I don’t care what the black panthers say: the confederate flag is the symbol of oppression of blacks. It is racist and everyone who owns it knows that. Just like everyone who owns a swastika knows it stands for white supremacy. It represents to me as Northerner the traitors to America and the ideals of America as well. It should not have been allowed after the civil war the same way the German government banned the swastika after Hitler. Here’s a solution: put them all in a pile, dose the, with gasoline, then strike a match. Their lost cause is lost and they can watch it burn.
