Confederate Flag

[J. Beckert]

Here's my take on this - we've become a nation of snivelling, whiney, bleeding heart sissies that pander to anyone who screams racism. As several forum members have stated, their ancestors wore gray. The overwhelming majority were not slaveholders. As with all wars, the working man goes to the front. We're constantly told we can't judge all Muslims by the actions of extremists, but if the right folks scream racism loud enough, things like this come about. Young men who went to war because they saw their homeland burned and looted, can be painted with a broad brush if it quells the whining masses. The whole thing .makes me sick.
