What is "news" about the issue I posted is that the protests against that man flying the Confederate Battle-Flag in protest against the election of Barack Obama are not the predictable, knee-jerk cries of racism, but rather from ordinary Arkansans to whom the CBF is a sacred symbol.
The issue is not the man's right to protest. The issue is that so many people are willing to publicly proclaim their respect for the Confederate Battle-Flag. To me, that's news (and this is the NEWS and Views board, after all).
