The Confederate flag was designed to represent a divided nation.

It was flown during the Civil War when 11 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas — broke from the nation to defend the practice of slavery. The Confederate Army lost that war more than 150 years ago, but the battle flag still represents a deep and bitter divide across America today.

YouGov asked more than 34,000 Americans to say whether the Confederate flag most represents racism or heritage (additionally, panelists were allowed to select “Don’t know” or “neither of these” as responses). The poll was conducted after Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, said that the Confederate flag meant “service, sacrifice and heritage” in her state until a white supremacist “hijacked” its meaning and killed nine Black Americans. Following that shooting, the Confederate flag was permanently removed from South Carolina’s statehouse grounds.

For a plurality of Americans, the Confederate flag represents racism (41%). But for about one-third of Americans (34%) — particularly adults over 65, those living in rural communities, or non-college-educated white Americans — the flag symbolizes heritage.

The former Confederate states, today

The idea of the Confederate flag primarily representing heritage is divisive even among the former Confederate states of America, according to state-level data collected by YouGov. Though a couple of former Confederate states believe the flag is more representative of heritage than racism, that is not the case for all.

Virginia, in particular, is more likely than other former Confederate states to consider the flag a sign of racism (46%) over heritage (33%). In recent years, the state has argued over whether to keep monuments of Confederate military leaders like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on display, leading to well-covered legal debates on the implication of the Confederate flag. Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Richard Moore explained the case by writing: “While some people obviously see Lee and Jackson as symbols of white supremacy, others see them as brilliant military tacticians or complex leaders in a difficult time.”

North Carolina, which narrowly said the flag represents racism over heritage (43% vs. 39%), has grappled with how to handle the monuments in recent years. In 2017, North Carolina’s Democratic Governor, Roy Cooper, asked the state’s historical commission to move the symbols because “We cannot continue to glorify a war against the United States of America fought in the defense of slavery.”

Looking at the Census-designated subsections of the United States: New England (49% vs. 25%) and the Pacific coast (44% vs. 27%) are the most likely regions to say that the Confederate flag is a sign of racism over heritage. Other parts of the country are more narrowly divided. The East South Central, West South Central, West North Central, and Mountain divisions are all split within the margin of error on whether the Confederate flag is a sign of racism or heritage.

For Americans over 55, it’s heritage

Americans older than 55 chose heritage over racism by a clear margin when asked what the Confederate flag means.

Those between 55 and 64 say the Confederate flag represents heritage (41% to 36%), which is a margin that only widens for Americans over 65 (49% vs. 32%). In contrast, a plurality of adults under 44 years old affiliate the Confederate flag with racism.

America’s youngest adults say with certainty that the flag represents racism over heritage. About half (51%) of adults between 18 to 24 say the flag represents racism, and a plurality of those (46%) in their late-20s and early-30s choose racism over heritage. Fewer than one in five adults (16%) between 18 and 24 believe the Confederate flag is a sign of heritage.

White Americans split on the Confederate flag’s meaning

White Americans appear more conflicted about the meaning of the Confederate flag than other racial groups, though results vary based on level of education.

Among white Americans with a two-year college degree, four-year college degree, or postgraduate degree, the Confederate flag is more representative of racism (45%) than heritage (36%). But for white Americans who did not complete high school or did not get an education beyond high school, the reverse is true: 49 percent believe the Confederate flag represents heritage, and about a quarter (24%) say it represents racism.

That’s a divide simply not mirrored in other racial groups when segmented by higher education. About three-fourths (73%) of Black Americans with a degree say the flag most represents racism. Among Black Americans who were not educated beyond high school, 61 percent say it represents racism.

A plurality of Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans, regardless of education-split, also say it represents racism over heritage.

Overall, those living in rural communities (47%) are more likely than those in cities (26%), suburbs (33%), and towns (38%) to say the flag represents heritage over racism.

That number grows to a strong majority (57%) for white Americans without a college education who also live in a rural community. A plurality of college-educated white Americans who live in rural communities says the Confederate flag represents (48%) heritage over racism (33%).

Mississippi governor declares April ‘Confederate Heritage Month’ for third year in a row​

In this article:

• Tate Reeves65th governor of Mississippi
  

For the third year in a row, Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves quietly signed a proclamation that declares April Confederate Heritage Month, a controversial tradition that has been practised by several of his Democratic and Republican predecessors in the southern state.
The proclamation, which was not posted to the governor’s official social media channels, nor could it be found on the Mississippi governor’s website, was instead shared to a Facebook page for the Mississippi chapter of Sons of Confederate Veterans, the Mississippi Free Press first reported.
“April is the month when, in 1861, the American Civil War began between the Confederate and Union armies,” the statement, signed and dated by the Mississippi governor on 8 April, begins.
“As we honor all who lost their lives in this war, it is important for all American to reflect upon our nation’s past, to gain insight from our mistakes and successes, and to come to a full understanding that the lessons learned yesterday and today will carry us through tomorrow if we carefully and earnestly strive to understand and appreciate our heritage and our opportunities before us.”
The Independent reached out to the Mississippi governor’s office for comment on the recent proclamation and the press secretary for Gov Reeves said that it was signed “because [Gov Reeves] believes we can all learn from our history”.
“For the last 30 years, five Mississippi governors – Repubicans and Democrats alike – have signed a proclamation recognising the statutary state holiday and identifying April as Confederate Heritage Month,” said Shelby Wilcher, press secretary for Gov Reeves, in an e-mailed response.
It is the third year that the decree, which also acknowledges the last Monday of April as Confederate Memorial Day – “a legal holiday to honor those who served in the Confederacy” – has been signed by Gov Reeves, a tradition he has followed every year since entering office in 2020.

“Now, therefore, I, Tate Reeves, Governor of the State of Mississippi, hereby proclaim the month of April 2022 as Confederate Heritage Month in the State of Mississippi.”
Story continues
Similar to previous iterations of this now annual proclamation, there is no mention of the enslavement of millions of African Americans, nor recognising the role they played in the Civil War.
Some groups, such as the aforementioned SCV, a group that Gov Reeves spoke in front of at a national reunion held in 2013, promote theories that downplay the role slavery played in the lead up to the Civil War and strive to rewrite the war’s history.
​​For instance, members of SCV worked with the United Confederate Veterans in the early 1900s to demand that school textbooks include the revisionist view that the south did not fight over slavery, but instead over a just “lost cause”.
This view, however, has widely been rejected by most historians in the field. Manisha Sinha, a historian at the University of Connecticut and the author of The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition, said while being interviewed in The New York Times on this very topic that “Lincoln could have avoided the Civil War if he had agreed to compromise on the nonextension of slavery, but that was one thing Lincoln refused to compromise on”.
“When it comes to the Civil War,” she added, “we still can’t seem to understand that the politics of compromise was a politics of appeasement that at many times sacrificed Black freedom and rights”.
Despite the proclamation not being aired on the governor’s official channels, it still managed to draw sharp condemnation from critics who have for years called for the southern state to do away with the month-long commemoration of the Confederacy.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the country’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, derided the Mississippi governor’s decision to once again name April “Confederate Heritage Month”, an issue the group says they’ve taken up for the past three years.
“It is a national embarrassment that a top elected official would honor the traitors and white supremacists of the Confederacy, while disingenuously promoting ‘genocide awareness.’ Governor Reeves obviously needs a large dose of that awareness,” wrote Ibrahim Hooper, the national communications director for CAIR, in a statement.

The “genocide awareness” that Mr Hooper refers to stems from an earlier, arguably more public, proclamation that the Mississippi governor made last month, in which he declared April as “Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month”, noting in the caption of the tweet that shared the statement that “Genocide has no place in society, and we must do everything we can to prevent it”.

I’ve proclaimed April as Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month.

The systematic destruction of lives has spanned areas and cultures from Armenia to Darfur, the Holodomor to the Holocaust.

Genocide, as the governor illuminated in the 15 March proclamation, is “the systematic destruction of all or a significant part of a racial, ethnic, religious or national group by destroying a group’s political and social institutions, culture, language, national feelings, religion and economic existence, and destroying the personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of individuals belonging to the group”.
Though the statement mentions many global atrocities committed, the Cambodian killing fields, the Holocaust, the Holodomor and others, in no place does the proclamation acknowledge America’s own stain of slavery or the destruction of Native American cultures.
Mississippi is not the only state that continues to celebrate the “heritage” of the American Civil War, which officially began in April of 1861.
As recently as 2019, Alabama’s governor proclaimed April to be Confederate History Month. And three states, including Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina, recognise Confederate Memorial Day as an official holiday.
In 2020, Gov Reeves signed a bill to retire Mississippi’s flag, which up until that year was the last state in the nation to feature the Confederate battle emblem, largely denounced as a hate symbol that remains popular among white supremacists in the US.

Washington Post Forced To Admit Affirmative Action Ruling Is 'Quite Popular' — Even With Black Americans​

Women System July 08, 2023

The Supreme Court landmark ruling restricting affirmative actions programs was one of the most controversial decisions of the 2022-2023 term if you asked Democrats and the media.
But according to average Americans, it's one of the most expected and popular.

The Washington Post reported on Thursday the decision was not only "quite popular," but explained the data shows that "even Black Americans are unlikely to strongly object" to the ruling.
The data includes at least two major polls. A new Economist/YouGov poll, for example, showed that 59% of Americans approved of the ruling while just 27% disapproved. That's a more than two-to-one gap. The findings corroborate an ABC News poll that found Americans approve of the decision by a 20-point margin over those who dislike it.
The Post, moreover, highlighted what is "striking" about the data: Black Americans approve of the ruling:

What’s particularly striking about the Economist/YouGov poll is how Black Americans responded. Indeed, more of them actually approved of the decision (more than 4 in 10) than disapproved (fewer than 4 in 10). And more Black Americans “strongly” approved (31 percent) than disapproved (26 percent).

This finding is also in line with previous polling. While polls have long shown Black Americans in favor of affirmative action, The Washington Post-Schar School poll showed nearly half (47 percent) supported banning the use of race and ethnicity in admissions.

The Post tried to explain away black approval by attributing it to a "lack of a perceived personal connection to the policy."

But this explanation discounts the obvious reason why black Americans might oppose race-based college admissions: They know what it's like to be reduced into a monolith based on skin color.
Perhaps black Americans do not overwhelmingly support affirmative action, to the surprise of the mainstream media, because they understand precisely what Justice Clarence Thomas explained in a concurring opinion last week: that categorizing Americans by their skin color is an inherently unjust endeavor because one group always loses at the benefit of another.

"This vision of meeting social racism with government-imposed racism is thus self-defeating, resulting in a never-ending cycle of victimization," Thomas wrote.
"In the wake of the Civil War, the Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment charted a way out: a colorblind Constitution that requires the government to, at long last, put aside its citizens’ skin color and focus on their individual achievements," he added.

Here's the right and proper spirit to take against the horrific war of 1860s that brought dictatorship and tyranny of the union over the formerly sovereign states, suckers, key to the problems of this very day, morons
