    “Removal of citizens’ right to have (the license plates) is deliberate discrimination by the government and the state of Virginia … only hatred and discrimination by the Commonwealth causes a committee vote to remove them,” Edward Willis, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, told the panel.

    So according to this racist asshole removing the traitor’s flag, which is a genuine symbol of hatred and discrimination from a government license plate IS hatred and discrimination.

    These people are unbelievable.

      They speak in bad faith. They’re just racists who are too coward to admit that they’re racist and feign outrage to justify being racist.

      I bet you anything he’d figure out right quick why it isn’t discrimination if folks wanted to put the progress pride flag on their license plates.
