New Yorkers cheer General Douglas MacArthur at the ticker-tape parade the city threw for him on April 20, 1951. The folks with the Confederate flag were probably out-of-towners.

These photographs are disturbing and historically accurate. The impact of them play out in America’s streets every day.

This entry of American History was not taught in the NYC Public Schools that many of us attended in the 1950’s

Attention: All Europeans- Just imagine if generations of your family lived through this:

From left: Buddy Trammell, Max Stiles, and Tommy Sanders, students at Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, picket their school when it becomes the first state-supported school to integrate, on Aug. 27, 1956. Parental Responsibility?

Police examine the wreckage of the newly desegregated Hattie Cotton grammar school, which was dynamited in Nashville, Tennessee, on Sept. 10, 1957. The entire east wall and four classrooms were demolished. The attack occurred after a single six-year-old African child was admitted to this school’s first grade.

Demonstrators outside of West End High School in Birmingham, Alabama, sing songs and cheer during an anti-desegregation protest on Sept. 10, 1963.

Who said confederate flags are symbols to be proud of? Trump, Reuters, July 19, 2020

Many Americans view Confederate flag as symbol of pride, not racism, poll finds The Atlanta Journal Constitution, June 16th 2020

Too many European Americans DO NOT know our Americans History:

Roy Lee Howlett, 14, stands beside a car painted with signs protesting the desegregation of Mansfield High School in Dallas on Aug. 31, 1956.

Women and teenagers at William Franz Elementary School yell at police officers during a protest against the desegregation of the school, as three African youngsters attended classes at the school for the second day on Nov. 15, 1960. The sign on the far right reads: "All I Want for Christmas Is a Clean European School."

********************

So, from this old European man to all of you European folks out there: How would all of this hatred have affected you and your family over the generations. WE cannot fix what we do not understand.

Seeing so many confederate flags in rural New York high key destroys the whole heritage logic because it’s not our heritage, you’re just racist.
