What's Wrong With This Picture?

The first African slaves arrived in the American Colonies in 1619 and slavery ended here in 1865, that’s 246 years of slavery on our shores. 

Consider that the institution of slavery began under and was welcomed under the Stars and Stripes for 89 years (1776-1865) and all the slaves that came to this country on US ships came here under that flag. 

Now consider that the Confederate flag only flew for 4 years and never flew over a slave ship yet it’s the Confederate flag that is constantly attacked as the flag of racism and oppression. 

Is it just me, or is something wrong with this picture? If you’re going to ban the Confederate flag for slavery and oppression, then in all fairness the flag of the United States should be banned too…Ah, but then the silly revisionist historians wouldn’t be able to claim some moral high ground for opposing slavery in America….

I’m as patriotic as the next guy, but truth is truth and we don’t need to revise history to cover up the unjust motives for an unjust war…
