Stop using racism as excuse for everything
Mr. Derek Bonaparte and his girlfriend have a opinion of what the Confederate flag stands for and they believe the person should have been removed from the race because of racist propaganda.
I believe Mr. Bonaparte should take the time to read what the Confederate flag means and what the south went through, and get off the kick of what the now popular thinking is. The one person that has common sense is Mr. Dennis Nelson, owner of the International Demolition Derby, by stating that there are positive and negative points to this flag like anything else. I think the time has come that people stop using racism as a excuse for everything.
