Bias Detox: Ep 5: The Confederate Flag: Heritage or Symbol of Hate?
In this episode of Bias Detox with the Morris Perspective, hosted by Connie Morris, we delve into the contentious history of the Confederate flag. Often defended as a symbol of Southern pride, the Confederate flag's true origins are deeply rooted in the defense of slavery and systemic racism. Join us as we explore its historical background, including the revival of its use as a reaction to the Civil Rights Movement. We challenge the notion of the Confederate flag as a harmless symbol, exposing its role in perpetuating racial divisions and associations with hate groups.
Through this candid discussion, Connie guides listeners in detoxifying the widespread myth of "heritage, not hate". Learn how understanding the true history of the Confederate flag and recognizing its impact on racial relations today can foster honest conversations and promote societal change. By confronting uncomfortable truths, we lay the groundwork for a more inclusive and understanding future. Tune in for insightful analysis and a call to action in challenging the use of this divisive symbol.
