On my mothers side I had a grandmother and her two brothers that were slaves to German immigrants. My grandmother was forced to bear child by her slaveholder while her same slaveholder also owned her two brothers and they lived a short life because they were forced to pull a plow and were beaten when they would tire. Irish, white as snow they were.
On my dads side, I had a grandfather who himself and all five of his brothers were marched off to fight the union army and he was the only one to survive. If not for him, I wouldn't be here. Perhaps that would make yall happy.
But hell no, I don't tell people they are racist for their flag. If I took a notion to hang one I'd damn very well sure do it if I wanted to so therefor I do not label everyone racist for it.
