The great wall of china and today’s mobile phones are products of slavery. They are not symbols of the ideology of slavery. The confederate flag is a symbol of slavery. It was and is used deliberately by racists past and present, as a sign for the belief that black people are inferior to white people, even the belief that they are subhumans, or not humans at all and the belief that black people can be owned, used, and abused like property. It is a case of “I am a racist, and I am going to use this flag as a shorthand for all the racist beliefs I hold”.
