The Emblem of Hate

The Confederate flag is a symbol of the Southern States which seceded from the Union in 1860. 

According to the VOA, on Friday, “Confederate” was trending on Twitter as lots of people weighed in on the flag issue sparked by reports that the suspect in the Charleston shootings, who wore emblems of white supremacy, had a Confederate flag on his license plate.

It seems that the young man is affected by the historical emblem of the Civil War although the war ended 140 years ago. The war ended and was reconciled impressively by warring sides without a jail or reeducation camp. However, the ideal of the war seems to remain persistent in historical stages of the country. If a Bible study is like a symbol of peace and salvation, whether or not the young man should be forgiven as he is losing in a wrong way. Finally, a question emerges how to end racial discrimination, imagined going away.
