for governor that was something. For one thing democrats "found" a whole lot of ballots in a closet somewhere that were ALL for them like a lot not like five or ten. For another, they were VERY sore losers to this day nearly half way through Kemp's term I am still not sure if she has formally admitted losing.

This appears to be willful ignorance, as Republicans are under indictment, in North Carolina, for election fraud for their actions in the 2018 election. This also requires ignoring the evidence presented in court, when courts have struck down many of the Republican led "Voter ID" efforts because they specifically targeted minorities which vote Democrat.

Tell us what you think it means based on nothing but the same old American history lessons all of us got.
You think the flag is racist. That doesn't mean it is. What are your reasons for thinking so?

If the Confederate flag was not racist, why do people use it that way? Why do you think Mississippi finally retired its state flag under extremely high pressure this year? Why do you think only Donald Trump and a bunch of his supporters want the blue and white cross with 13 stars to continue flying? If the flag was not a symbol of racism, many black Americans would use it. Instead, whites who murder blacks have the flag (see the South Carolina church incident).

a flag can not be racist. It is a piece of cloth. You can attach racism to it but a piece of cloth is just that.

I guess you must think the American flag is racist too, huh?

It is a racist symbol. Don't you get symbolism. Just as the American flag is a symbol of freedom and unity.

So you think the Confederate battle flag is racist, but not the American flag?

But why don't you think the American flag is racist as well?
Why should it be? O, I see. Because many view America ( from the beginning to today) as supporting systemic racism?

Well, the thing is, slavery was in the United States the whole time. There's no getting around it. And all slaves that America brought over were on northern ships, which were flying the American flag. The Confederacy lasted about four years. The United States was around for almost 100 years by then, with slavery the whole time, and even before America was a nation. Some of the founding fathers opposed it, but many didn't. Some didn't like it, but they still kept slaves.
I guess my point is, if you are going to call the Confederate flag racist because of slavery, then the American flag is even more so. Confederacy only lasted four years remember.
By the way, do you think this flag is racist?

Wrong. Try again.
Southern states seceded from the union and did so violently. What else would you call it?

The Confederate battle flag is used by most if not every white supremacy group. Time for real Southerners to retire it and all the statues that have been raised in order to show disrespect for the federal government. One cannot claim to be a patriot while waving the Confederate battle flag.

So why do people get their adult diapers in a wad when some professional athletes fail to stand for the national anthem or recite a pledge to the American flag?

Seceding from the union was not treason, no matter what northerners try to tell you. They had every right to do do, and states still do. And what makes you think they did so violently? You'd better have a better reason than fort Sumpter. The Confederate flag is used by many white supremacy groups. Guess what? They also use the American flag. In fact, they have done parades where the only flag they have flown is the American flag. Why haven't you condemned that flag as well? Statues are not to disrespect the federal government, they are to honor those brave men who fought and died for what they believed in. Have you heard about the black member of a legislative body, I don't remember if it was state or national, who was very sick but left his house to give his full support for erecting a monument honoring the Confederate dead. He himself had fought for them.
I am a patriot, and I would proudly wave the Confederate flag. The flag is not racist, nor does it symbolize that. It only symbolizes that to those who want it to, like yourself.
