I hit the streets of Lawrence, Kansas asking people what they thought about the Confederate battle flag. What better place to do this than the middle of the country, amirite?
The problem is, some argue that the flag seems to be more of a weapon these days. And because of that, it remains a controversial symbol, especially in the United States. In fact, to many people, it is VERY offensive. So offensive, in fact, that I got flipped off filming this video, and one girl told me that my Confederate flag can go :beep: itself.
But what do you think? Is there any justification whatsoever for still displaying the Confederate flag? Let me know in the comments. Also, this video has a twin, a companion video if you will. I also did a similar video about a symbol more recent in American history, the MAGA hat.
