BLM/CONFEDERATE FLAG/RACISM: “When people proudly have their Confederate flags, they’re not talking about racism. They love their flag, it represents the South, they like the South. People right now like the South.
I’d say it’s freedom of many things, but it’s freedom of speech… I’m not offended either by Black Lives Matter. That’s freedom of speech. You know, the whole thing with cancel culture, we can’t cancel our whole history. We can’t forget that the north and the south fought. We have to remember that, otherwise we’ll end up fighting again.”
