Texas is considering a specialty license plate that would feature the Confederate flag. The idea is to honor Texans who fought in the Civil War for slavery, but some people say they are offended by the idea. The president of the state’s NAACP chapter said the flag on Texas license plates would be humiliating and demeaning.

This is an insult to the United States of America. The Confederacy was defeated by the Union (nearly 150 years ago!). Can't these people get that into their heads? Get over it already. It is no more appropriate for descendants of the defeated Confederate army to display the confederate flag than it is for descendants of the defeated Nazi party to display the Nazi flag in America.Texas says the goal is to honor those who fought in the Civil War. Honoring is something we do to the living. Uh, those dudes who fought to defend slavery are all dead. Hello?
