Last week tragic incident happened,that killed nine black people. It was done by a twenty one year old boy named Dylan Roof.
The all round support has come for the removal of the flag. It is important to remove the flag to mark a respect for“equality”and to exemplify “non-racist”mindset. Its removal will substantiate the fact that “unity”persists.
The issue of removal of flag has also impacted 2016 presidential election politics. Among the many only one candidate has wholeheartedly supported Nikki Haley’s decision to bring down the flag.
But removal of the flag is not easy as it has strong historical significance. Although history of the flag pasts back to 1860 that is very old , but it still has emotional importance for the people concerned. The America of 1860 and today has changed way too much, at that point in time‘slavery’ and‘discrimination’existed in America. Today America is among the most developed nations of the world.
Slowly the debate is heating up as more politicians are joining the debate. Politicians are supporting the decision to bring down the flag as it creates a wrong impression that racism still exists.
Whist all the debate regarding the Confederation flag, the kindness shown by the families of victims has been appreciated worldwide.
The counter-arguments provided by the people against the decision are that it will be disrespecting to the people of south who sacrificed their lives in civil war. They are the symbol of heroism for the people who are against the decision.
As per the latest information, Walmart and Sears are going to stop the sell of Confederate flag merchandise.
