I believe that some people honestly don’t see the Confederate Flag as a symbol of hate but as an important part of their heritage.

The Confederate flag is looked upon by many as a symbol of hate and racism. Time for a change!

However, a huge part of the southern population connects it to a time in history when whites had rights, and African Americans had none. Their ancestors suffered terrible indignities during the period when the Confederate flag flew high.

Let’s pick a different symbol of southern heritage that doesn’t offend our brothers and sisters deeply. Life is about makings others happy, whenever possible.

I love that Bubba Watson gets it! He tweeted recently that he will paint the American flag over the roof of his famous General Lee, the iconic car from the “Dukes of Hazzard” TV show. The car has always had the Confederate flag on the roof.

Bubba Watson will make some changes to his “General Lee.”

So let’s move forward, all Americans, forget the hate and prejudice, and grow a strong country together!
