If seeing the Confederate Battle flag triggers you that much, when you drive from Jersey to Georgia, you can bypass my home state of Virginia and go through West Virginia. It is a battle flag for fucks sake and that's it. I am going to be 62 in November and that flag has been there ever since I was a little boy. I have driven by that flag many times and thought nothing of it. Virginia is one of the most historic states in the country. My ancestors fought for that batlle flag and some of my ancestors fought against that battle flag. My great uncle was the commander of the confederacy. If you take more time to lear our history, there is nothing to fear in our history.

After world war 2 the Germans and Jewis coalition got together and formed the never again campaign. I every city in Germany, homeowners can if they so desire purchase a gold brick to commemorate a house that they bought that was Jewish owned. It tells the names of the occupants, their age, which concentration camp they were sent to and if they survived. All Jewish business interest have armed police in front of them. All school children are required to visit and learn about the concentration camps. They are required to go to Berlin and learn about all of the buildings that make up the Tapograqhie de terror.

The Germans aren't trying to bury and destroy their history like everyone wants done with the Confedracy here, no they are embracing, accepting and learning from their history. Why aren't we? That's right the winners are the ones who writes the history.
