South Carolina hung the flag over the capitol beginning in 1962 to spit in the face of the Civil Rights movement. How is that not racist?

Again it's what it meant in the past. South Carolina is not Flying the flag to show they believe in slavery now. Every flag we had before that and the founders of this country all represented racism. Just like the country being founded on God but they've done their best to get that erased too because it's not what they want to hear or see.

This is just like everything else in recent years with people trying to get attention and trying to get rid of what they don't like without losing the things they like that are equally offensive to others. I promise you if the government did away with everything that was offensive to certain people no one would be able to do anything and these people whining would be twice as bad.
