The Confederate License Plate

I've come across this blog written on July 21st, 2014 by Paul Burka of Burkablog in TexasMonthly.  It's called "The Confederate License Plate." The intended audience Paul Burka is reaching out to are the citizens of Texas, and/or members of the Confederacy during the Civil War.  Paul Burka's main argument in this blog is to express his disappointment in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that ruled in allowing Texans to display a Confederate emblem on their license plates.  Paul claims that memorializing America's past on the Confederacy is terribly wrong, and he also criticizes Jeff Patterson for being the lead advocate for memorializing the Confederacy.  Paul cited a picture of Jeff Patterson's license plate as a source of what he's arguing about.

I completely, without argue, agree with the author of this blog as this is quite honestly a terrible idea.  I mean, it's great to acknowledge history and remember what has happened in American history, but it's another thing to memorialize a terrible event.  I believe that allowing the Confederate emblem on license plates is going to cause many problems among citizens, and I believe that allowing the Confederate emblem will further increase racism in America.
