    It’s not freedom of speech, it’s racism.

    The Civil War was never just about slavery, it's main issue and catalyst was bigger federal vs bigger state government.

    Proud of my confederate ancestors no matter what. History ain’t there to like or dislike. It’s there to learn from.

    So 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.

    The flag shown at 1:16 was the Arkansas State flag not the Confederate Flag

    If it had been a BLM or Antifa flag it wouldn't have even made news.

    But yet it's okay to use anything of Soviet origin to promote your cause... interesting 🤔

    Try concentrating on black on black murder instead of syrup bottles and statues.

    Stop 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.

    The civil War was fought because of federal encroachment on states' rights the issue they utilized to take away states rights was slavery
