Flags of a Feather...should be in museums only, commemorating man's destruction of himself.

From the Associated Press:

"The reasons blacks stayed away are not exactly a mystery: Across Dixie, Civil War commemorations have tended to celebrate the Confederacy and the battlefield exploits of those who fought for the slaveholding South."

Below, is what the "battle rag" came to represent after the Civil War when its "heritage" of fighting for property rights, translated...keeping black folks enslaved, would later on be used as an aegis by the murderous descendant sons of the confederacy, who later became the KKK.  In other words it was a battle cry to either keep enslaved or exterminate black folks...for they were no more than souless chattel in America's south and many parts of the north.   

From the Associated Press:

"But the National Park Service is trying to make anniversary events over the next four years more hospitable to black people."

Below is a flag that that symbolizes the extermination of a people, do you think history events could ever make this symbol hospitable to Jews and others whose ancestors suffered the trauma?
