TO EACH HIS OWN HISTORY

Concerning blacks' complaints about whites wearing hats that have a circle around an X with a slash through it:

In my opinion, when blacks wear a hat with a X on it and, in some states, whites can't fly the Confederate flag, that's discrimination against whites.

Blacks wear their Malcolm X hats to show they are remembering him, who is an important part of their history. When whites fly Confederate flags, it shows that we are remembering Gen. Robert E. Lee, who is an important part of our huistory.
