Jacob Green, a junior at Millennium High School in Goodyear, Ariz., told KSAZ-TV that he had no problem flying the Confederate flag on his truck while driving to school until he was confronted by another student two weeks ago.

“I’ve done nothing wrong. I’ve flown a flag on my truck. Somebody fought me because of it,” Green told KSAZ. “I didn’t fight him. I was walking around like a normal person. He confronted me, he hit me first. I was defending myself.”

Green and the other student were both suspended for five days following the fight.

Green, who says he is not a racist, believes the Confederate flag means freedom.

“The flag means basically more independence, less government,” Green told KSAZ. “It didn’t mean racism, it didn’t mean slavery, it didn’t mean any of that. It basically meant what they were fighting for was their right to be independent and not have the government control them.”

The school district called the flag offensive and said schools can limit students’ rights while they are on campus.

“It has been proven to be patently offensive to certain groups and the courts recognize that,” Dennis Runyan, superintendent for the Agua Fria Unified School District, told KSAZ. “Obviously there was some event that took place it was related to reaction to the flag and it did create an environment where it was disruptive.”

Green said he will not let the school force him to take the flag off his car.

“I’m not going to take the flag off my truck for somebody telling me to do it. I believe in independence. That’s something I want to do independently,” he told KSAZ.

Green’s parents believe the attack against their son was a hate crime and say he should be allowed to fly the flag on his vehicle at school.

Nothing.

Some dumb asses might as why he was flying the "Mexican" flag (or some other random country). Others might confuse "Liberation" with "Liberia", but they'd be way off. Someone less stupid might ask why he's flying the Malwian flag - at least the colors are the same.

Once educated, smart asses would ask where the nation/state of "Black Liberation" or "African American" exists. Does one take the rabbit hole, worm hole, or peyoti to get there?

They'd all be expelled as it's racist to complain about a black man's cultural heritage. Apparently blacks are very delicate regarding their culture, both real and imagined, so holding a black flag flyer to the same standard would be very inappropriate. Might even get a visit from Jesse and Al out of the deal.

Should a person be hit for flying a flag? Nope. But let's get a few things clear.

A Confederate flag means freedom, yes, but I'm pretty damn sure whoever taught him about it also mentioned it represented a mindset that Blacks weren't supposed to be free nor equal to Whites. Would a guy be wrapped in a Confederate flag if he didn't think White people were better than anyone else? Highly unlikely. And, yes, thinking your ethnic (racial) group is better than somebody else is, by definition, racism. Don't understand why I have to keep reminding you of some shit you can wikipedia or look in a damn dictionary for.

If this guy thinks that the Confeds were fighting so they could be independent and not have government control him then he apparently didn't read the rest of his damn history. He's getting the words right but the context wrong. The South wanted to be free from North rule, not have the Abraham Lincoln government control them. But they still had their own government and their own President when they broke apart. He's getting the Confederate flag confused with whatever bullshit he's trying to barf out which, at the most, means he shouldn't fly a Confederate flag out of sheer stupidity of knowing the subject matter.

He shouldn't have to remove the flag from his truck. But he also shouldn't expect his truck not to find it's way in a flaming fireball doused in gasoline. I'm just saying. It's like an unfamiliar person walking through the projects or a trailer park in the middle of the night. Shit gets real.

This kid is either lying or truly doesn't understand the Confederate flag in which case, if I was a Black person in the neighborhood, I'd be paying far closer attention to his parents.
