Many Americans today are calling for the removal of the Confederate flag on statehouse grounds in South Carolina's capital. Read this article and find out about this controversial issue. I'm copying an excerpt below: 
"The flag has no meaning "regardless" of politics, or above politics; its heritage is not exempt from history. Anyone can interpret anything any way they want, but if they claim historical sanction for their interpretation, then they'd best be accurate. And in that sense, history is clear: There is no revolutionary cause associated with the flag, other than the right for Southern states to determine how best to subjugate black people and to perpetuate slavery."

 Is the confederate flag a racist symbol?
