The Confederate Flag

To Southerners a symbol of the brief moment in time in which sovereignty and treason were one and the same.

I am proud to be from Michigan, but I don’t wear, flaunt, or fly the French, Spanish, or English flags.

And…

It’s okay to be proud that you’re from the South.

But…

The Confederate flag, in all of its forms, is a symbol of racism and of oppression, or at the least of an inability to understand our constitution, this nation, and the aspirations of the men who began our experiment in self-government. It is a symbol of people failing, utterly, in the capacity of self-rule. Stop being proud of it.

Aslo, too, treason and Mississippi.
