Virginians clash over removal of Confederate flag: ‘Then you need to go back to Africa!’
Sigh…

There’s many a time I’m proud to be a Virginian but this is one of those times where I point out that all four my grandparents were from a Yankee state and that my only Civil War veteran ancestor fought in a unit from said state. I mean really. Go back to Africa? Yeah how terrible of them to get upset about a flag being proudly displayed that was the flag of not just the fight to preserve human chattel but in the 60’s denying African Americans civil rights.
