Malcolm X VS. The Confederate flag.?
In the state of Georgia I know that there is a band on Malcolm X shirts, hats, and jackets saying that the X on the items and the saying "By any means necessary produce and brought forth hate amongst different races. But there all around the state of Georgia you can see the Confederate flag flying high in people yards, on there cars, and on there shirts, jackets, and coats. What I want to know is that fair and in your opinion which one have the worst history that means hate.
In fact ? The Malcolm X thing have already been passed.
You will not find out information about Malcolm X, Nat Turner, Fredrick Douglas and a lot more black leaders in America history in plain old school history books.

Georgia also tried to ban the baggy"hip-hop" clothes kids wear, and that was knocked down by their Supreme Court, I believe, as an infringement of the First Amendment. This will be too, if they try to enforce it.
But for the record, the Confederate flag symbolizes a LOT more hate than the X in Malcolm X's name.
And didja notice how the "new" Georgia flag is really just the old Georgia flag, but with the Confederate battle flag replaced by the First Confederate National Flag? Tricky rednecks!

I'm not a US citizen- so Malcolm X is not exactly a well known figure to me. If my memory serves me he cooperated with some groups who used terrorist tactics- but don't take my word for it as he is really not a major figure in my history book so I didn't try to find out much about him
as to the confederate flag- to me this means a desire to make independent decisions- free from a huge centralised bureaucracy. SFAIK this is what the confederate secession was about.
AS to other hate symbols- I think portraits of Che Guevara should be banned, same as portraits of Hitler. Of course Guevara was not Hitler callibre- more like a Bormann or a Himmler. Portraits of Mao should vanish too. and the red star should be gone same as the swastika
