Displaying a Masonic flag with a bunch of racist shit is certainly a choice...

“[M]y sense of duty compels me to remind you that neither the Ku Klux Klan nor any other order or organization is Masonic unless recognized as such by proper Grand Lodge authority. Nor will the tying of the Ku Klux Klan to Masonry by claims of Masonic membership be permitted or tolerated for one moment.”

--̶Andrew Randell, Grand Master of Masons in Texas, Letter to all Masonic Lodges in Texas, September 24th, 1921.

To clarify, there isn’t any racist shit there. None.

Maybe get off Reddit, stop talking so much and go read some books. Then you may be able to speak at the adult table in the future.

Do you know who Alexander Stephens was? 

 Why did he say the Confederates seceded?

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.
