02/01/2021 21:08So this video shows that the flag was used for many different representation of life, to say it stands for hatred and slavery is false. Yes some groups of people used it as that but a larger group of people do not associate it with hate. There are many black Americans I have seen defending the flag, having one in their house or a tattoo of it. One problem with America anymore is anyone who says they are offended gets it changed because this county gives into the minority instead of the majority.

02/01/2021 02:33Stop falling for the hate. If you don't like the flag ignore it. Ignoring White supremacists causes them to lose their power. Just like ignoring black supremacist with the New Black panther party. Ignore them and they fade away.
