Did you see the two confederate flags on the new HGTV show Your House My Money?

I was watching HGTV when all of a sudden on my tv were two Confederate flags being used as curtains!  I’m surprised that the production company didn’t shoot around the flags since it’s their right to display white power/supremacist items in window of their home but I really don’t expect to see that sort of thing on HGTV.  I just caught the first few moments of it since I was taping an episode of My First Place and rewinded the episode back to the flags to confirm that I wasn’t imagining things.  At first they seemed like normal average people on HGTV looking for a place but after I saw the flags and the weapons they gave me the shivers.  I suppose because I read articles about how white supremacy has been on the rise since President Obama was elected.  I’m very concerned about these hate groups and their plans to overthrow the government and/or assisinate the President out of some dream to bring America back to the way it was when it was separate but equal.  Where a person of color was a second class citizen and lived under constant threat of violence with no hope of safety.

I’m very disappointed in HGTV since it’s on e of my safe networks where I don’t have to worry about racial ugliness rearing it’s ugly head.  In case you didn’t see the show or didn’t realize what the flags are here’s a link as well as samples of the flags.

I found this flag on a site called ‘Flags of Our Ancestors‘
