Arlene Barnum, a black veteran, is touring cemeteries across the South to place Confederate flags on the grave sites of soldiers who died fighting for what they believed in, and she doesn’t plan on letting up any time soon, KWTV reports.
Before the Labor Day weekend Barnum made a stop at her local Rose Hill Cemetery in Ardmore, Oklahoma to pay homage to those who fought for the Confederacy and offered her thoughts on the current movement to erase that history.
“Most of the white people are afraid of being called racist. And I let them know that’s their personal problem, but I don’t have that issue,” Barnum said. “And I’m not going to tuck and run.”

Good for you and may God bless you.
ReplyDeleteI guess we should go planting Nazi Germany flags over the graves of their soldiers who also died fighting for what they believed in. Not comparing the confederate flag to the nazi flag, simply pointing out the parallel in that line of logic.
ReplyDeleteAnon 8:04 AM: if that is what the people of Germany want to do then that is their prerogative. The last that I heard, the Nazi's were not American's.
ReplyDeleteThis lady is a great American who understands that our history is just that, our history. Right, wrong or indifferent, it needs to be preserved for all future generations to learn from and to let our society know (as a whole) just how far we've come from those dark times.
8:04 AM Remember, they were just doing their jobs!!! What they were ordered to do!!!! Just like cops!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, there is no fault in her logic, there is nothing wrong with placing flags on peoples graves who fought for what they believe... Even if it was to be put on nazi graves too... It is just that there are or were some sick minded people out there who wanted war simply so they could kill someone or do harm or take something from someone else...
You may not like what she is doing or for the reason why she does it, but at least she stands up for and puts action behind what she does and believes, the rest of you clowns just run your mouth complaining about things instead of making change... Then try to smack talk badly about the ones who will stand up like this woman...
She is an intelligent and informed person.

Did the Confederates of Southerner kill 6 million people?
When you ignorant morons compare the Confederate States of America to Nazi Germany is shows your lack of intelligence and your Snow Flake lifestyle.
