The Confederate Battle Flag

I wasn't real fond of this video until it got to the end. I think what he suggests at the end is a brilliant idea.

I'd rather see the flag eradicated completely from America - period.

Besides being the "slavery" flag, it was also a flag that represented
a region that started a war to kill their fellow-Americans so that
slavery would remain a "state's" right and continue in the south.

What ever the intricacies of the history are, that is not how most blacks perceive it and that in my opinion is much more important.

If they choose to do what Kanye is doing I think that's great. But, it's not my decision. For now government buildings should not be flying flags that causes anger and fear in many of it's population.
