“A Springfield, Missouri man insisted this week that a Confederate flag and a noose hanging on his home had nothing to do with racism.
Justin Clopton told KSPR that his neighbor Jeffrey Tindle had gone too far by combining a symbol of lynching with the Confederate flag.
“In my opinion, it’s racist,” Clopton said. “I love the history of this country, but there is a lot of history of this country that is really despicable, and that noose represents bad things in the South. The way I look at it, a noose means lynching.”
KSPR reported that someone at Tindle’s home removed the flag and the noose after a reporter asked about it. But within a few hours, the flag was back up.”
