Our nation and its leaders must never be afraid to speak the truth about our past.
Little known fact...The Civil War never really ended, at least in the South. I'm a 7th generation Texan, and I can't believe how certain attitudes have not really changed. My partner is from Massachusetts, and when I told him that several years ago, he scoffed at that notion. He no longer scoffs, but sees what I mean, especially in the last 10 years. It's been fairly recent that the Confederate flag is not flown proudly down here, with the U.S. flag and the Texas flag. If you know recent state legislation, you also know it's true. It's nuts, and white men still rule at the state capitol.
@cosmiclibrarian@universeodon.com @georgetakei@universeodon.com It was only in the last few years that the southern Six Flags theme parks stopped flying the confederate battle flag at their parks. And it's kind of the whole reason for their name at Six Flags Over Texas - it's named so because there were "six flags" that had flown over the area in its history.
Honestly, it's kind of remarkable that Six Flags Over Georgia near Atlanta pulled it down.
Baby steps...There are still good people...They just don't get all the publicity.
5th generation Texan here. Yup
