The confederate flag?

It's strange that so many where so offended by the battle flag of a country that existed for less than four years.

Today we are just as offended by another flag that flew over the American continent. This flag flew over the longest period of race-based indefinite slavery. Even after the civil war, it flew over the longest period of race-base discrimination, more lynchings, more profiling, and more wars, coups, and assassinations of people of color than any other country in history.

That's right. The old red, white, and blue.

Today, it's not the flag you stand under by which you are judged, it's your actions.
