I’m kinda salty. A racist white chick asked a question heavily laced with sarcasm; “How many black people died over the 4th of July weekend because of the Confederate flag?” My first thoughts were; “That racist, prejudice ass-BITCH!” But, hold up. She made a point, and the truth hurts. See how we do ourselves? Okay, they took the flag down. Now what? Now what are we going to do? Was there a sudden drastic change when it was lowered from the flag pole? Did any of our social or economic conditions change? That’s why I haven’t really spoke on the topic. We’re constantly worried about the wrong things. We’re still murdering each other. The police — are still killing us, and the Klan is still going to march. Racism didn’t fall with the flag. It still exists, and they still have the same bogus constitution that says we are given equal rights and equal protection under the law, but when we step into the courtrooms, it just doesn’t work like that. So now what? What are “we the people” going to complain about next? What are we going to change? And I’m asking white, black, everybody…
Thoughts, comments??

Well put!
change your ways that is synonymous to the flag!
What do you mean???
My thing is WE don’t know our history. THAT flag had nothing to do with the confederacy. It was a Tennessee rebel BATTLE flag. The fact thst it hung in front of the state capitol is really of no consequence. Our nation is,going to continue to sanitize history until we write slavery out of the history books.

That’s what I’d like to know. Or are we satisfied that the imagery isn’t blatant…
