Flag

Flags of Our Fathers, directed by Clint Eastwood, is a film that is successful in portraying both a Native American and white soldiers as humans.

Although there are several moments of racial dialogues towards Ira from his superiors, it seems as though director Clint Eastwood is pointing to these scenes as flawed instead of simply leaving…

The killing in the church that left nine black people dead was the reason the flag was removed(Controversies). The flag was in the picture when the guy killed the colored people. He used the flag as a sign of hate on colored people. He did this because he is a racist man. There are many people like that, but they…

The Confederate Flag: Racist or Not? Is the confederate flag racist or not? The Confederate flag is not an official battle flag. It was the battle flag of General Robert E. Lee’s unit. Which leads me to ask, how can you judge someone you don’t know for flying the confederate battle flag? Even though the Confederate flag represents a time of succession, the flag still has other representations; therefore, we shouldn’t ban/nor take down the flag because it is a battle flag but there are still…

What does the Confederate flag represent? From this simple question, many different answers are generated. Most notably the answers that are given are "slavery" and "racism". This is not the case for everyone. Being raised in North Carolina, I often see the Confederate flag. Whether it's passing by homes that are proudly flying the flag on the front porch, going to the beach, or seeing it on clothes and stickers placed on cars. I often wonder if these people know what it represents. If so, why…

Many people in today's world are burning the American flag in public.

concerning the U.S. Flag in the public eye. Like athletes kneeling during the National Anthem, or citizens burning the U.S. Flag. This has brought forth the question “what does the U.S. Flag mean to you?” and “If you disagree or agree that it is disrespectful about what people are doing to the flag?” I agree that it is disrespectful to burn the U.S. flag because lots of people have bleed, fought, and died defending the U.S. Flag.
