Confederate States
of America on display in Florida
It is by no
means only southern people flying this flag!
Let's be honest?
When you see a rebel
flag on a business enterprise, a house or a vehicle what do you automatically
think?
The confederate flag
is a symbol of southern heritage?
Do you think that
this in remembrance to all civil war victims or do you think that it is flown
by a
" White
Supremacist?"
Say what you want
for as long as you wish,
"This is a Free
Country."
However, if this
flag is shown in remembrance to 'your lost soldiers', why are there no flags on
the property of any indigenous peoples land?
Native Americans and
African Americans were also Confederate Soldiers?
A few Native
American tribes, such as the Creek and the Choctaw, were slaveholders and found
a political and economic commonality with the Confederacy.
The Choctaw owned
over 2,000 slaves.
As many as 90,000
blacks, slave and free, were employed in some capacity by the Confederate army.
The majority of
these men fall into two categories, as "military laborers or body
servants."

Display At Florida's Capitol
"In 1936, an
enterprising publisher created a 'safe passage' guide for blacks. It was called
The Negro Motorist Green-Book, and it helped African-Americans navigate the
highways and byways of racist rural America by listing restaurants and hotels
that catered to them.
" Of course,
the sad thing is that the progress of HB 1228 has already spawned efforts to
create lists of LGBT-friendly businesses in Arkansas. It's 1936 all over again.
Do you call that progress?" Arkansas Bigot Watch
