Question: Is the Confederate flag a symbol of anti-Black racism?

What is now often called “The Confederate Flag” or “The Confederate Battle Flag” (actually a combination of the battle flag’s colors with the Second Navy Jack’s design), despite its never having historically represented the CSA as a nation, has become a widely recognized symbol of the South. It is also called the “rebel”, “Southern Cross, or “Dixie” flag, and is often incorrectly referred to as the “Stars and Bars” (the actual “Stars and Bars” is the First National Flag, which used an entirely different design).

The vice-President of the Confederate States of America, Alexander H. Stephens, said this about the new nation represented by today’s familiar, and controversial, flag:
“Our new government is founded upon… the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”

So, the answer to the question must be “Yes” because the Confederate States represented by the flag were, according to their vice-president, built upon anti-Black racism.

Every flag stands for something, from the grotesque black mess flown by ISIS, to the greatest of all flags…the Stars and Stripes.

Like it or not, the rebel flag was originally the symbol of racism at its worst.

To argue that it no longer stands for what it originally stood for is not credible.

Those who defend flying the “Stars and Bars” must answer the question: What does that flag represent?

Then they must exlain how it no longer represents anti-Black racism.
