I have been reading and watching the news from Charlottesville this weekend and am saddened for my country. It's never okay to promote violence, especially in the name of racism and religious discrimination.
It is not patriotic to spew hate and embrace the racist symbols of the south. We are better than that. How does anyone think it's okay to wave a Nazi or a confederate flag? You are not a patriot, you are not making America great, you are not what this country stands for. Please, let's call out these hate-mongers for what they are and rise above.
Love is stronger than hate.
