2. And therein is the real problem. Do all the haters who are suddenly pulling down the flag just know

that it is not expedient to show their real self just now or have they let go of the hate the flag stands for. That has always been the real question in politics.

I am glad the flag is going down but it is going to take a lot more to convince me that the hate is going away.

What about getting rid of the voters suppression laws?

How about the existing incarceration laws that allow so many citizens of the USA (mostly poc) to be imprisoned.

What about stopping the harassment of poc for small infractions of the law in order to collect money for the city budget?

What about police brutality and no enforcement of this crime?

And this is just the beginning of the list.
