Southern Confederate Flag Controversy Essay

The document I have read, States’ Rights, Depending on the Issue by Albert R. hunt has many different topics and many different views. I have decided to pick the topic of the Southern Confederacy flag being flown in many southern states. The two points that this article offers about the Southern Confederacy flag is that, the flag may be flown because it is to the closest government's decision to decide, which is yes, and or that flag should not be flown because of what it “really” stands for according to many African American citizens, a racist sign of hatred towards their people. This topic has recently been extremely popular because some people call it “patriotism of their local region” and some consider it “a racist reminder that brought African Americans a time of unjust pain and neglection.” Overall, this topic remains such a problem because there are not only two views, but those views are not just different because of saying who's right or wrong, but it is a stand point of saying yay or nay of violence towards African American citizens during America’s pastime. I personally agree with the nay side because not only does this flag bring back excruciating reminders of past pain to some African American citizens, but the “Southern Confederacy”
This to me just feels like one thing that I cannot waiver both points because I understand patriotism, but when it represents a war over using other human beings, like you and I, for back breaking, hard, horrible, and dirty labor, it just seems unfair to those it offends. In this instance, not only do I decide that it is the state’s right to decide, but that in my honest opinion, that the Southern Confederacy flag shall not be flown in this great nation because of what horrifying events it
