I am not a native southerner, but I enjoy the culture. What I am about to share was patiently explained to me last year by a Civil War reenactor<\/a> at Fort Macon, North Carolina<\/a>. \u00a0The Confederate Battle Flag<\/a> is part of that culture. The Confederate Battle Flag is not the “Stars and Bars.”<\/p>\n

This is the Stars and Bars:<\/p>\n

\"StarsAndBars\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Stars and Bars was the first official national flag of the Confederacy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The above flag is a rectangular variant of the Army of Northern Virginia<\/a> battle flag.<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia:<\/p>\n

Despite never having historically represented the Confederate States of America<\/a> as a country, nor officially recognized as one of its national flags<\/a>, the rectangular Second Confederate Navy Jack and the Battle Flag of Northern Virginia<\/a> are now flag types commonly referred to as “the Confederate Flag.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

So why am I mentioning this? On September 30th, MRC-TV<\/a> posted an article about a newly designed Confederate Flag (designed because the old one has become politically incorrect).<\/p>\n

The article reports that New York station<\/a> WNYC<\/a>, an independent public radio organization, commissioned\u00a0a design company to come up with a replacement for the Confederate Flag. This is the result of that commission:<\/p>\n

\"NewConferateFlag\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The quote that comes to mind is, “A camel is a horse designed by a committee.” No further comment is necessary.<\/p>\n
