A performance “artist” plans to lynch the Confederate flag in protest of the Republican convention! What, praytell, does that flag have to do with Republicans? It was Democrats who flew and fought under it.
The lynching ceremony, titled, “The Proper Way to Hang a Confederate Flag,” will kick off an exhibition called “Recoloration Proclamation: The Gettysburg Redress” by artist John Sims. It also will feature Confederate flags that Sims has rendered in alternate colors, including African liberation colors and two “drag flags” done in pink and lavender and trimmed with spangles.But it is the elaborate lynching ceremony — an act of symbolically “killing” the Confederate flag — that will bring him and numbers of Southern heritage defenders to Gettysburg, according to Edgerton.
What an inane idea.
Does this fall under the definition of “hate speech”, or are “hateful” thoughts toward Southerners fair game?
Addendum: FYI, I think Southerners or whoever have the right to display the Confederate flag in support of their heritage or just because they like the way it looks hanging outside their houses.
