Ta-Nehisi Coates on the Confederate Flag

It’s in response to the Brad Paisley discussion, but it applies to other issues.

Nothing is changed by banishing the Confederate Flag out of a desire to be polite or inoffensive. The Confederate Flag should not die because black people have come to feel a certain way about their country, it should die when white people come to feel a certain way about themselves. It can’t be for me. It has to be for you.
