I've been kinda silent about all this but now I have to speak up. And this is kinda long...
Flags of the Confederacy: The Stars and Bars, Three horizontal stripes of equal height, alternating red and white, with a blue quadrilateral in the canton, inside the canton are white five-pointed stars of equal size, arranged in a circle and pointing outward.
This is the national flag of the Confederate States which are as follows: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas. And then there is The Stainless Banner it's A white rectangle two times as wide as it is tall, a red quadrilateral in the canton, inside the canton is a blue saltire with white outlining, with thirteen white five-pointed stars of equal size inside the saltire. And then there is Blood Stained Banner. Here's where the second two flags differ...
The Stainless Banner is one of hatred and white supremacy but it was abolished in 1865 and replaced with the Blood Stained Banner. On the Blood Stained Banner: A white rectangle two times as wide as it is tall, a much darker red quadrilateral in the canton, inside the canton is a blue saltire with white outlining, with thirteen white five-pointed stars of equal size inside the saltire. The darker red was used to signify that even blacks fought in the Southern States and for the Southern States.
The Flag everyone suddenly wants abolished is about ALL southerners not just whites. Now my high school was mixed and the "N" word was never used, we all got along and I have black friends. We have this racism thing popping up all over this country. If we as citizens of America look at our leaders and tell them that not all white people hate black people and not all black people hate all white people, maybe, just maybe, our President (Dear God is it 2016 yet?!) and his wife would both shut up and let us all get back to being Americans again and not seeing the color of each others skin but the beauty within then and only then can we say we once again live in a free country.
No one will read this but I've said it.
