Confederate Flag Cancer

The confederate flag is a cancer. Most of you will know exactly where I'm going with this, but for those who may be confused, I'll explain:

I had a cancerous tumor. If it had been allowed to grow and grow, it would have ended me. I listened to my doctors who said that in order for me to get better and have a healthy life, the cancer had to be removed. I had it removed with the quickness. I am still doing things to ensure that I continue to heal and get stronger, and I have with each day. I'm better because the cancer was removed. The cancer was not a "part of my heritage, to be displayed proudly." It was a nasty assed mistake that happened because systemically something went wrong. Nothing is perfect. Never has been and never will be. But the things that I know are wrong and nasty assed, I will remove without giving it a second thought.

Confederate flat = cancer that must be removed.
