Heritage

Georgia state officials have approved a new licence plate featuring a confederate flag that covers the entire plate. Because its our heritage.

From the Associated Press

The Georgia division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans requested the new plate design, and the Georgia Department of Revenue recently approved it. The group’s old plate had a small Confederate battle flag. The new one features an additional, larger image in the background that covers the entire plate.

Spokesman Ray McBerry said the group meant no offense and views the plates as a way for people to honor their heritage.

Just so we’re clear, the “heritage” McBerry and his brethren want to honor is one of declaring war against the United States and waging a bloody campaign to preserve slavery.

The confederate flag doesn’t represent backyard BBQs or beans and corn bread, it represents treason and brutal violation of human rights.
