Woman Who Praised KKK Apologizes, Vows To Never Wave Confederate Flag Again
The Missouri woman who went viral for waving a Confederate flag, praising the Ku Klux Klan and vowing to teach hate to her grandchildren while at a Black Lives Matter protest in Branson is apologizing.
“I’m so, so sorry,” Kathy Jenkins told Ozarks First. “I mean, if it would help for me to stand with Black Lives Matter, I absolutely would do that.”
Jenkins said she “blacked out” during the event and doesn’t remember what she said as anti-racism protesters gathered outside a store that sells Confederate merchandise.
However, the moment was caught on a widely shared video as Jenkins ― decked out in a “Make America Great Again” cap and draped in a Confederate flag ― told the protesters she would teach her grandchildren to hate them.
“I’m teaching them to ****in’ hate all of you people,” she said, then she raised a fist and called out “KKK belief.”
It's such a shame that this poor woman (who I assume is a Democrat since we all know it was the Democrats who started the Confederacy and KKK and the parties never switched) has lost her job and is being publicly humiliated, along with her grandchildren. Maybe if instead of standing with BLM she bent the knee and knelt in front of them she might be welcomed back into polite society. :shrug:
The thing I'm confused over though is this.
“I didn’t understand that the Confederate flag meant hate,” she told Ozarks First. “I don’t understand the whole history of the Confederate flag, but I’m learning.”
What's up with that? How could this proud Confederate flag waver not know the history of the Confederacy? Was there a lack of Confederate statues where she grew up to teach her about its real history? And shouldn't we be concerned that with all these Confederate statues coming down that others will also grow up not knowing the real history of the Confederacy? At least she knows now and can teach her grandchildren about the real meaning of that flag but what about everyone else? :unsure13:
