THERE MORE TO THIS THAN DISPLAYING "THE FLAG"/"THE CONFEDERATE FLAG"/"THE REBEL FLAG"!
THERE ARE GROUP OF PEOPLE WANTED THE WORDS "Confederate", AND "REBEL" BANNED FROM NAMES OF BUSINESS, STREETS, ROADS AND BLDG. THEY SAID BECAUSE THE WORDS REMIND THEM OF IT'S "SLAVERY TIES" TO THE 1861-1865 CIVIL WAR.
THERE IS AN PETITION TO CHANGED THE NAME OF THE "Confederate Hills Recreation Center"

DIDN'T THE FIRST 13 COLONIES/STATES AND VA. PRESIDENTS GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THOMAS JEFFERSON HAD "SLAVERY TIES".
GUESSING WHAT IS THE NEW NAME OF "STATE OF VIRGINIA" GOING TO BE ?
IF VA. PRESIDENTS GEORGE WASHINGTON'S OR THOMAS JEFFERSON'S NAME BE BANNED FROM PUBLIC/PRIVATE PLACES ?

HOW ABOUT ALL THE OLD HISTORIC RACING PHOTOS HAVING REBEL FLAGS IN THEM.
JUST THINK IF NASCAR OR INTERNET, PHOTOSHOP OR BANNED ALL THE OLD HISTORIC RACING PHOTOS HAVING REBEL FLAGS LIKE THESE PHOTOS:
PHOTO #1. FRANK REBEL MUNDY REBEL FLAG #7 CAR
PHOTO #2. FRANK REBEL MUNDY PHOTO SHOP REBEL FLAG REMOVED
PHOTO #3 1969 SOUTHERN 500 WINNER LEE ROY YARBROUGH REBEL FLAG
PHOTO #4 1969 SOUTHERN 500 WINNER LEE ROY YARBROUGH PHOTO SHOP REBEL FLAG REMOVED
WILL NASCAR HALL OF FAME SHOWED THEM OR CONSIDERED FRANK "REBEL" MUNDY, Real Name Francisco Menendez INTO THE NASCAR HALL OF FAME?
