A year ago, dozens marched to protest the Confederate flag a white woman flew from her porch in a historically black Southern neighborhood. After someone threw a rock at her porch, she put up a wooden lattice. That was just the start of the building.Earlier this year, Annie Chambers Caddell's neighbors built two solid 8-foot high wooden fences on either side of her modest brick house to shield the Southern banner from view.
One thing I see wrong with what she did; she tried to convince the protesters that she wasn't racist.
I don't give a fuck if she is a racist - it's her house and her flag, to fly when and how she decides.
Is racism a bad thing? Yes. But until an individual does something to another based on racism, then the state has no business getting involved.
