One it particular was a statement introduced by the politicians in light of the events that happened inside Mother Emanuel Church. The argument was that it was important (on the subject of the take down of the flag) to “show a little grace to those whose family lineage is tied to the flag.” This maybe a very disrespectful line and it only adds to the point Reid was trying to make about this exact lack of respect of people who see this flag as nothing but negativity, especially those family members who lost their loves ones on that tragic day. To think that the even after all those people have been through, grace needs to be show to the families who have ancestral history tied to this symbol but not to those who had to feel this enormity of pain that just happened not too long ago. The Confederate flag is an important part of history as Reid says, but whose history exactly, and for what purpose? She poises these questions because there is clearly a lot that people don’t realize about this symbol and she wanted to add some factual data and just plain morality to the subject so that if people don’t stand they can feel how is hurts people. I believe that Reid did a good job in writing this essay and that the valid points that she has put up for discussion is something that definitely needs to be looked
