Oklahoma black man leads presidential protest by waving Confederate Flag

OKLAHOMA CITY — The President’s Oklahoma visit sparked controversy all over the state.
Supporters of the confederate flag have their own message to send to President Obama.
In Durant, Okla. Wednesday morning, trucks lined up awaiting his arrival, and now supporters are in Bricktown.
Supporters want to let the President know the Confederate flag, they say, stands for heritage, not hate. The organizer of the event is someone you might not expect to see standing behind this cause.
It is a red, white and blue that, for many, carries a message of hate… but that’s not the point these folks want to get across.
“We don’t believe it’s a symbol of racism,” Andrew Duncomb, an organizer in Oklahoma City who calls himself “the Black Rebel” says.
“Hell, I’m just out here supporting my flag, not racists, I don’t want no [sic] problems with anybody,” a supporter said.

A message contrary to the thousands gathering weeks earlier in South Carolina to remove the very same flag.
“They’re blaming the racist problems on the flag and not on the real problems of America. Through the race lies the people who carry and harbor the hate inside,” Duncomb says.
One man says he feels passionate about it, so he organized the rally.
“Again, look at these people, they all followed the black guy out here. Do you think that any of them are racists,” Duncomb says.
While our cameras were there, some Oklahomans spoke out.
“Sir, I’m letting you know that this flag right here represents hate,” Kiana Smith, an Oklahoma woman said.
“I’m letting you know that all these people out here right here do not believe it’s about hate, they believe it’s about heritage” Duncomb responded.
But the woman was not buying that thought.
“Please do not be fooled and brainwashed by the misconceptions, that flag in the south was about slavery,” Smith says.
This group was the same one that was lined up downtown to greet the President. They say they plan on setting up more rallies in the future.

What do you plan to do if a hebrew trespasses on your property and attempts to steal your flag?

What's your point Adam. I can show you a white woman that believes she's black. Is that right? No.

Why would they do that? Many have their very own Confederate Flag.

Props on not taking down the confederate flag. But as far as the American flag not being up. It doesn't surprise me. You're a liberal. Everything against the country and religion.

It has been a trend lately. Just check the media or youtube. Lots of black folk stealing confederate flags.

Then your a fucking moron. We know you were too big a pussy to serve in the military. (Now is when you give the STANDARD big ear faggott response that you didn't serve because of blah blah blah -/ when in reality its because you are scared shirtless of conflict unless well hidden online). Must come from a pussy of a father and grandfather too if they didn't teach you respect for the colors.
I am unable to have a flagpole in my front yard - lol it would look pretty fng ridiculous and the blue bloods would shit - but my pop flies the colors at his "camp" and has been on me to put one at the lake house.. Stars and stripes then the EGA right underneath!!!
Couldn't give a shit what you believe ( fucking moron didn't think we only tore the quarters down 30 years ago??? Lol) I have FAR more "southern" heritage than most and while my forefathers were rebels - I am not.. This country is mine and fuck anyone that would tear it apart. Black - white - red - yellow.. I don't give a shit if you're an enemy of the state you're mine enemy
