On the one hand, yay for widespread recognition that the Confederate flag is a horribly racist emblem, even if it took a tragedy to get to that point.

On the other, I didn't really need confirmation that some number (greater than zero) of my relatives and in-laws are racist crackers.

Ahhh, yes. Facebook. I'm forever glad I got on it on a fake name and have curated my friends.

I'm sorry.

I hear so many people say that.

Fortunately, I've not hit this from my family. Unfortunately, I've discovered folks I thought of as 'decent folks' are anything but.

Reason #I'velostcount that I don't have a Facebook account... I know that people can be thoughtless and horrid. I don't want more proof.
