Also, drove past a tall flagpole atop a hill, flying the #Confederate battle flag. I flipped it off as I drove past, which is the appropriate sign to show to that anti-American hate symbol. *

Today, I left more than an hour later, and Birmingham #AL traffic was much improved.

* Some years ago, a cousin who is now believed to be deceased posted the Confederate battle flag with the caption "Heritage, not hate". But I would argue that "we're killing other White people in order to continue enslaving Black people" is pretty much the definition of hate.
