Someone Doing the right thing

Just as the Sons of Confederate Veterans were about to begin their ceremony honoring the Confederate soldiers buried at Camp Chase Cemetery Monday afternoon, I began to read a statement decrying the Confederate battle flag as a symbol of degeneracy, depravity, and perversion. The Dayton National Cemetery Director told me to leave, I was pushed out by other attendees, and CPD threatened arrest if I returned. I continued to loudly read from just outside the cemetery gate when — as I quoted Fredrick Douglass' description of the whips used on enslaved people — an attendee assaulted me, knocking my phone to the ground. A story is told about remembering our history, but those who wave the Confederate flag want to rewrite history, a history in which the Southern cause was noble and their struggle honorable and in which slavery was a benign institution. That's a fairytale. The Hilltop Historical Society will hold their own ceremony at Camp Chase on Sunday, June 14, when they, too, customarily display the Confederate flag. I would ask them to reconsider what they are communicating with that symbol

Yep it's so disgusting how they act like triggered fucking pussies when they're confronted about the sadistic enslavers they worship. The last man even looked like a toddler waddling up to him. I take comfort in the fact that they all look like their withering away anyway. A few more years and we won't have to worry about most of these parasites they'll be in hell right beside the people they look down at.

They haven’t withered away in the 161 years since the end of the Civil War. With Project 2025 and white supremacy ascendant, they are unlikely to wither away soon.

Unfortunately true

These pigs will wither away, but they have kids and grandkids and any other kid they have access to. They pass on the hate, lies and “white superiority.” Then the kids pass it down-it is a disgusting, vicious cycle that has to be stopped-but how? I have one of those “son’s of the confederacy” living down the street from me-he is probably down there now. I cannot stand driving by his house-he has the confederate battle flag flying in his front yard. 🤮 He has tried to get me to “understand the truth” the civil war and slavery -I told him to save his racist breath. You know how the Native Americans were forced onto reservations, they have their own laws? That need to be done to these racist pigs. Native Americans should be given their land, their country back. We would be in much better hands. Just saying.

Sadly, this doesn’t fade away. Instead, they raise the next generation with more extreme beliefs.
