Ask yourself: What do Confederate flags have to do with protesting a stay-at-home order and why do the same people who fly Trump flags also fly flags honoring the side that fought to preserve slavery? https://twitter.com/MikenzieFrost/status/1250449168906301446">https://twitter.com/MikenzieF...
In other words: If y& #39;all think this protest against stay-at-home measures just coincidentally follows the release last week of racial data showing black people are dying at the highest rates across the nation, then you don& #39;t know your country very well.
It& #39;s amazing to me how many people actually still think the Confederate flag is a Southern symbol and not simply a racist one. White people fly that flag all across the country in states that fought on the Union side because it symbolizes a racial belief, not a regional one.
And actually, though Michigan was not in the Confederacy, it was at one time a slave state. Some of the most recognizable names in Michigan, like Macomb of Macomb County, and Woodward of the main Detroit thoroughfare, were enslavers.
