      He says it’s not a confederate flag. But states: “Even if it was a Confederate flag, you know, we should be talking about teaching our national history in schools and that’s part of our national history & it’s something we can’t just throw away because it is part of our history.“

      I don’t know why people are shocked this happens in Michigan. This state has a deep racial history. Growing up, there were places black folks avoided and to be clear, still do. This state is not as “progressive” as some believe. It’s a different reality growing up while black.

      My father grew up in Detroit’s Black Bottom, a place of cultural significance & black connectivity, that was razed to make way for a freeway. He’s seen a lot happen in this state. To this day, he still warns me about certain areas. The trauma is real — and valid for our elders.

      Oh, look, an update. That was quick: “I did not intend to offend anyone; however, I realize that I did, and for that I am sorry. Those who know me best know that I do not support the things this pattern represents." https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/04/25/dale-zorn-apology-confederate-flag-mask/3025930001/ …

          Also, just to be clear here. The Confederate flag is not “just a flag.” That’s historical revisionism and erasure of the suffering black people endured during and after slavery and continue to endure, which is everything it symbolizes.

          Yeah, right.... He is not apologetic at all, just sorry he got busted and called out. Brazen bigotry. The walk back is to save political hyde.

          I wonder if when he talks about “the pattern” he means the pattern of: 1) Get caught being a racist; 2) Lie about it; 3) Gaslight people; 4) Defend being a racist; 5) Offer an insincere apology; 6) Repeat
