I'm getting sick of all this race related stuff. Most people don't even know that it's not the complete Confederate flag, but part of it. They taught us in school that the Civil War was all about slavery, when it was more about the northern states aggressively pushing their agendas on states They purposely omitted that A BLACK MAN OWNED THE FIRST SLAVE. I can go on and on and on.
And now, my governor wants to remove the bust of Nathan Bedford Forrest from the state capitol over all of this. Most people in my own state only know First as having become "Grand Wizard" in the Ku Klux Klan. I know Forrest is no saint, but he is a decorated individual in the military and he gave a speech to a large group of "blacks" about friendship between races and accepted flowers from a black woman. I know Wikipedia isn't always the best source for information, but it's quick, easy and accessible. Too lazy to read.
Oh, and I think the bust of Forrest should be moved, not removed completely. Idiots.
