Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding of this issue. I had not known of the Confederate flagging campaign before reading your article.

Now I have one more reason to want to see this all ended once and for all time. That's because my 100% White ancestry (determined by DNA testing) includes my own family which then includes our history of regarding people as human beings even in Florida where part of our family once lived for decades.

My great-grandfather was probably the wealthiest man in central Florida. His business was in lumber and construction materials and in real estate development. Without batting an eye, he built and donated five Baptist churches to area black communities. He employed all- black staff and everyone in our family addressed them as Sir or M'am. My mother and her sister attended one of those Black Congregation churches whenever they stayed a his mansion.

Therefore WE object to being blotted out by these losers. A species divided among themselves will not survive long. Neil Armstrong was technically wrong, we didn't pioneer to the Moon for the first time for loser flag-wavers.
