1. This is a good way to shut down racist behavior

Overwhelm the bigots with our numbers. Show them that we, the vast majority, are America, not them with their racist, anti-American traitorous flag.

I have a severe criticism of the linked article, however. Nowhere does it indicate who put up the Confederate flag. At the end of the linked article, it says that "the battle flag that flies near the billboard was “put there by a man angry over the county’s removal of Confederate monuments,” according to Joel Brown, a reporter with ABC11." There is another link in the article but it doesn't identify who erected that symbol of losers.

That's piss-poor journalism. Who is the person that is so blatantly making their "First Amendment" statement? If they are so proud of their point of view, why haven't they identified themselves? Why didn't the ABC11 "reporter" do his fucking job and inform his viewers?

The angry man should be publicly exposed and brutally shamed for his disgusting act of bigotry. Just don't expect so-called reporter Joel Brown to do his job.

It's been amazing to watch the past couple of months and see the accelerated pace of change with regard to Confederate memorials. I say, take them all down and put some of them in museums. They have no place in a civilized society, (are we still "civilized" in the U.S.?).
