I'm 63 years old and grew up in the deep South. Where I lived, racism was widely institutionalized by the State whether you'd like to believe it or not. My public Elementary school was forcibly segregated when I was in the 5th grade. The Confederate flag has always meant (before Obama was born), "I support slavery" to the descendants of the African slaves I've known and has been a symbol no less divisive than the hooded sheets of the KKK. Believe in your revisionist history if it makes you feel better about Trumpism. I'll continue to confront fascism and the ignorance and oppression that supports it wherever it appears.
