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

In other words: If y'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't know your country very well.

It'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.
