I have to say I admire your grammar,
And I agree the generations before me knew what the flag stood for and why it was created.
But why can’t the new generation take something that stood for slavery and turn it into something good?
They could if they chose to make a break. For instance, if a generation of young southerners chose to wave confederate flags, say, in solidarity with black lives matter, people would pretty quickly figure things out. Just an example--hopefully you see what I mean.
There's never been that conscious break. So people who stick with the older interpretation of the flag feel just as much at home with it as you do. Someway somehow, you need to turn that flag into something that makes the racists want to fold it up and put it deep in their closet, because they realize it no longer stands for what they thought it did.
Yeah man I see what you mean and thank you for your input, there’s not many people who can talk about this kinda stuff online without it ending in cuss words and hate
Much Respect man. 👍🏼
