Here's How You Can Help Fight Racism, From Home!

You can't love God and hate God's children.

Route 555 Willisburg, Kentucky

I'm pretty sure these people go to church every week. That's because everybody in these parts goes to church. And, even though we have lots of Catholics, I'm just going to venture a guess that they are Protestant.

I don't really understand how these kind of people bow their heads, read their Scriptures and pray to the God they understand week after week (and sometimes 2 and 3 times a week) and justify something like this. You don't have to even be literate to know that the Confederate flag is offensive at best and intimidating and disgusting, most likely, to virtually all people of color, as well as to many, many white folks. All you have to do is ask a person of color.

Of course, at present, it is their right to fly them, wave them, and have them in public. At present, the flag is not seen as hate speech.

What I hope to do here is share the pictures and locations of these flags. My hope and prayer is that some day,  these flags will come down. Until they do, we'll continue to speak out.

Please help out... share this blog widely.

Here's the email address to which pics can be sent: confederateflagsout@gmail.com

You can send the location of the flag, an exact address, or a general one, and rest assured that I will not post your name, email address or identity, only the photo.

Thanks for helping with this grass roots initiative!
