Confederate Symbols Under Attack
 | Columnist Samuel Francis in July 2000 American Renaissance
wrote, " . . . the NAACP, which has been
crusading against Confederate symbols for decades, is
increasingly tipping its true hand, revealing that behind its overblown
rhetoric about the flag (a 1991 NAACP resolution characterized the
Confederate flag as "an odious blight upon the universe" and
"the ugly symbol of idiotic white supremacy racism and
denigration" [sic]) and the Confederacy lies another, far broader, and
much more radical agenda. The NAACP and similar groups want the removal and
erasure not only of Confederate symbolism but also of a wide range of
symbols and icons from American history that have no association with the
Confederacy or the ante-bellum South. The purpose of this attack is to
emphasize that American civilization itself is "racist" and that
virtually all the symbols, icons, heroes, songs, and institutions of the
American past or at least its most important and defining ones have to be
discarded or radically reconstructed to suit the new "anti-racist"
dogmas the NAACP upholds.
In launching this broad attack on the historic symbolism of America, the NAACP is embarking on what is almost explicitly a revolutionary course, intended eventually to lead to the destruction of the traditional civilization of the United States and the establishment of a new, purportedly egalitarian, and essentially totalitarian order that replaces the real, historic traditions of the American past with the fabricated propaganda and "Afrocentric" racial mythology of which the NAACP approves.
