I am sure that most literate people realize how offensive the confederate flag is………that it is a symbol of slavery and in today’s world…a symbol of racism. Years ago when we were having a problem with idiots wanting to promote the flag and pissing the black community off at the same time…..my son-in-law and I were saying the best way to fight this symbol was for African-Americans to somehow make it “their” flag….to start wearing it for everything and everywhere…to just take over it altogether.
Well it seems that Kanye West heard our rumblings…….
(Newser) – Kanye West, never one to shy away from controversy, was spotted Saturday wearing a jacket decorated with … a Confederate flag, People reports. The rapper has also featured the flag on his Yeezus tour T-shirts and merch. He explained himself last week while talking to an LA radio station. “React how you want. Any energy is good energy,” he told 97.1 AMP. “You know the Confederate flag represented slavery in a way—that’s my abstract take on what I know about it. So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag. Now what are you going to do?”
I will seldom say too much pleasant about West….but in this I think he is on to something and others should follow suit….take away the symbol from the morons and turn it on them as quickly as possible……….
Let me say here…BRAVO, Kanye….I do believe you are on to something….now get the rest to jump on that…..this could be better than a 100 demonstrations…..KEEP IT GOING!
