This society is stuck on symbolism. I have said many times, that persons who look for racism will invariably find it. Today, they find it in a flag. It's not just a flag, it's the colors flown by the last states that tried to leave an oppressive government. What the flag really represents is a memorial to freedoms lost.
Maybe those who view the flag as a symbol of racism really do want the final image of lost freedoms to be suppressed. Getting rid of this memorial will make people forget about the most important of their lost freedoms. Ironically, this will make slaves of all of us.
Now it seems they want to put a woman, any woman on a 10 dollar bill; and a woman, even a Hillary Clinton in the oval office. Why? It would be symbolic. After all, look what putting Obama in the White House did for race relations.
Perhaps Bernie Sanders should self identify as a black woman. Think of the ratings bonanza for the debates we'd have there.
And perhaps Rachel Dolezal should be on the Sawbuck. Or better yet:
