"...Flying this flag only embarrasses Virginia and proves that the state still hasn’t moved on from a past that continues to haunt this country. There’s nothing honorable about the Confederate flag. The only place it belongs is in a Civil War museum, a book, a movie, or better yet, a burn barrel. There’s a difference between learning about that flag and honoring it. Yet for some reason, Southerners don’t understand why that flag is so outrageous and offensive. And if they do, they’re flying it to continue that outrage. It’s a symbol of treason, racism, hate, and the institution of slavery. How can conservatives claim that racism is dead when this flag still flies in many of the states they control? How can they claim to love the United States when they clearly long for the days of southern secession and a separate nation of their own where racism, hate, and white supremacy can run rampant? The Confederate flag has brought nothing but shame down upon this country and reveals exactly what conservatives and the South stands for, and it’s certainly not for diversity and Union."
