Many of us view the Confederate flag’s meaning in
different ways. This is much like cultural relativism. So what are we Americans
saying about what the confederate flag represents? Some people are saying that
the confederate flag is a symbol of national sham, slavery, and institutionalized
racism. Supporters of the flag say that it represents their proud southern heritage.
The article I found from CNN is about government free speech versus private
free speech when the confederate flag is displayed. Is the state of Texas implying
that the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism if they are banning displaying
the confederate flag on state license plate? Does this also mean that the
Supreme Court is saying that the Confederate flag represents racism when they allowed
Texas to ban the flag from the state license plate? Or is it, because it offends
some people. I personally don’t have an answer. I’m not for or against displaying
the Confederate flag and I’m completely unbiased. We can just agree to disagree.
