Approximately 1/2 the article is factually incorrect, etc
on an don in the article are factually inaccurate statements about the confederate flag, esp as underlying all those statements are a fundamental and flawed
understanding entirely of slavery in the US South.... e.g. 99 % of white families in the US South never ever owned any slaves ever so imputing slavery as the
basis for fighting in the Civil war and so too the battle flag, the confederate flag, has that fundamental flawed distorted view ... Add to that that northerners
were almost 100 % the ship owners and ship captains that brought all slaves over to the US South ; and add to that , that black kings, chiefs were the ones
who sold into slavery, all the slaves that were in the US South... and so on and on the story is one of fundamental distortion... 
And of the % of whites in South who owned slaves, they have all been dead 150 years... further add to the fact that for 100 % of white Southerners, the flag
has always represented Valor in battle of the 600,000 approximately white southerners who died in the war... Add to that the war began due to invasion by North
and the 100 % felt view of white southerners that states rights then was the main issue and to a very small view , slavery way below that esp as those 99 %
of confederate soldiers and their families did not own and had never owned slaves....
TO distort and warp all this factual history into black mania about the battle esp of valor, being a rascist symbol further massively distorted e.g. by us media
as CNN is simply put, mass HYSTERIA with no , almost no foundation in fact .... 
please add all this to revise the bottom 1/2 of the article which has those endless wrong factual distortions.... Kareen Abdulla Selassie, Imp of Ethiopia Sr 47.18.43.166
