Take It Down

You know, I don’t forgive him! I admire those who say they do, and they are better than me. But I can’t just forgive a killer of innocent, loving parishioners because of the color of their skin, and hatred ingrained, taught by the ignorant and angry who blame others for their failures; politicians and legislators, who protect and promote racist symbols; false newspeople, who twist truth to satisfy politics of their owners; professors who promote disunion. People must stand against racism, and we can take a good first step, by taking down the Stars and Bars.
