What the fuck, muh confederate heritage in Long Island?!

You must not be familiar with how traditionally batshit Long Islanders are

I am not. I lived in the southeast for years, though, so it's boggling to see the people behind the 'war of northern aggression' waving Confederate flags

Long Island is where the trash from the Jersey shore originates. Long Island is littered with racist towns filled with trashy people.

Ohhhh, it's the Alabama of the Northeast

Jersey was also a union state though

I don't see anything about how the people responsible for flying a confederate flag were removed from positions of authority, nor that they really learned anything.

Do tax payers have to pay that? They surely learned a lot.

I think I saw something about some UPS trucks or FedEx trucks branding confed stickers as well

To all my POC, this is an example of how the whites and their institutions can not be trusted. This is why you must band together, create and/or join mutual aid organizations. Band together, even if there are cultural/ethnic/racial devices between us, because the whites will always come for us or stand aside when their brethren do. This is most important now that we're facing the final stages of a fascist takeover. Be united, be prepared, and stay safe.
