Regarding the confederate flag having been carried through the Capitol building during the insurrection in DC, I have a problem with the significance given that gesture. The press and others have taken it to mean it represents a turning point against our efforts over the last 50 years to bury racism. But as far as I can tell, its appearance at the insurrection was because some single racist halfwit thought it would be a cool thing to do, not as a representation of the insurrection as a whole. Am I wrong here?
