As the controversy surrounding the Confederate battle flag continues around the nation, Baltimore activists gathered in a vacant lot on the Fourth of July to burn one of the banners they said represents slavery and racism.
About a dozen members of the Peoples Power Assembly and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference gathered near Charles Street and North Avenue and circled a small grill that cradled a balled-up battle flag soaked in lighter fluid.
Before they set it on fire, members read portions of Frederick Douglass' 1852 speech, "What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July?" More
I pray I see our flag or the Confederate flag burned. I'm gonna boot stomp that person. Both flags has many Americans. Both black and white died for it. Both are symbols of this great country and I'll not stand idle while what's left of our country's freedoms and heritage is is desecrated.
I don't care how many flags they burn. It doesn't bother me one way or the other. I will not play anyone's game. You let it bother you and you give them power over you. Screw em.
Did they arrest these folks like they arrested the one that burned the poofter flag?!
