A coworker of mine was attending a history class at a collegehere in Austin Texas that has large number of black students. When starting alecture on the Civil War the instructor, a middle aged black man, asked theclass “How many of you believe the Civil War was fought to free the slaves?”Most all the students raised their hands. The instructor went on “Letme put it another way; how many of you believe the white man went to war tofree the black man?” The students knew that didn’t sound right.
The Civil War’s causes were a bit more complex than that, butthe Confederate battle flag has become a symbol of racism.
Anyone flying it in any form is inviting hazards and complications they just don’t need.
Remember, that bumper sticker will be photographed and entered as evidence against you.
