Try not to get offended

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know the Rebel flag is known to cause some trouble here in the South. People who think they know everything and really they don't even know the real history of the Confederate Flag want to take it down and wipe it away from our history books. They think that if they take down our flag and our statues, then suddenly racism will go away. But what they can't see is, by being foolish enough to try to wipe it out of history they will cause the raft between the two races to go deeper.

But now the Confederate Flag isn't the only flag that people are having issues with. Now, there is a school in Michigan that wants to try to ban our COUNTRY'S FLAG. That's right the stars and stripes themselves. The one that growing up, I pledged allegiance to everyday before school. The school sent out a list of "banned items" and when a lot of people saw the "US Flag" on that list. They got offended and started to call the school out on it. But the school wants to say it never meant for it to have appeared on that list.

When schools send out letters to parents, especially when it is SCHOOL WIDE, doesn't someone; an assistant, sectary, etc. proofread the letters. So, someone had to see it and must have thought it was okay enough to send to the copier and make enough copies to send to all the students. This is why I am saying, people WAKE THE FREAK UP! Not only here in the South but everywhere!!! Why should we allow the very people who hate and despise this country try to take our flags and our symbols of American pride!

You wanna take the General Robert E. Lee statues down? NO! What if someone wanted to take down the President Abraham Lincoln Memorial? We would be in an uproar!! What if someone wanted to take down the hotel that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot and killed at? People would be marching all around the country for that cause! So why should us proud southerners just accept that people wanting to take down our flag and memorials? It shouldn't happen!
