Do you know the history behind it?’ It would have been a teaching moment.” “My son told me that all of a sudden, the girl whose house they were at to take the pictures grabbed the guns and the flag, and the parents snapped the pictures,” she says.

"Not to mention, the Confederate flag and its legacy of white supremacy, Klan violence and the Jim Crow South.” “The image is pretty disturbing, especially if they have real assault rifles in their hands," University of Colorado-Boulder ethnic studies professor Arturo Aldama told Fox 31 Denver. But while supporters say it represents " southern pride," others believe it is a symbol of racism, and variations of the flag are often used by white supremacy organizations.
