Right here.
"Many southerners, though thankfully not all, love to pule that their old flag is not a racist symbol, but is instead a symbol of their heritage. I agree that it is a symbol of their heritage, but theirs is a heritage that has been saturated in racism from its very beginnings. They know this. They just don’t like to talk about the truth that much. They prefer blather and obfuscation.

"That hasn’t always been so. There was a time, not long ago, when their parents and grandparents proudly admitted the disgusting facts freely and openly. But the white racists have now lost the power they once had. They are no longer so straightforward. Now they act as if cut to the quick when confronted by the mere mention of racism. They have become dainty. They deny. They adopt the pose of martyrs. They snivel. Mind you, these are the descendants of the brave souls who once screamed out the rebel yell and were willing to follow Robert E. Lee through the gates of hell. Now they snivel."
