That flag was associated, from the very start, with white supremacy in mind.

The 2nd official Confederate flag is the one this guy is talking about.Įver wonder why the KKK picked up that disgusting piece of cloth almost from the get-go? It wasn't a coincidence.

When the people building the Confederacy got together and wanted a design they wanted one that displayed what they perceived as white supremacy over non-whites. If you're thinking, 'but the Confederate flag isn't white!' you're partially white. One of the designers of the Confederate national flag stated in a newspaper editorial, and I quote, “As a people we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.” - William T. For those that say, 'the Confederate flag is about heritage, not hate,' I think you need to be clued in on something.
