Another Narrative, Dashed to Bits

So, this is a story, a black woman surprised to realize that a man wearing a confederate flag shirt is somehow not a racist.

It's ultimately tragic that it has come to this, that many people think the flag of the Confederacy is somehow conflated with racism. The truth is, the cause of the Confederacy was just, even if the motivation of all its participants was not.

In order to learn all of the lessons of the Civil War, it is important to separate the issues and analyze them independently and thoroughly. There were people on both sides of the slavery issue that wanted secession. Just as there were many racists fighting for the union.

Hopefully people will start to get it.
