Didn't Kanye West wear the confederate flag back in 2013? And was going to use it on his Yeezus tour?

For those of you who haven’t heard, Kanye has started using the Confederate flag as the primary design on his tour merchandise for Yeezus. So, already, that ignites a gut reaction in so many of us who grew up understanding that the Confederate flag was a symbol of racism, slavery, and discrimination. I mean, that was my first reaction. But let’s hear what Ye has to say about it:

“React how you want. Like I said, any energy you got is good energy. You know, the Confederate flag represented slavery, in a way—that’s my abstract take on what I know about it, right? So I made the song ‘New Slaves.’ So I took the Confederate Flag and made it my flag. It’s my flag now! Now what are you gonna do?”

Kanye West knows what he’s doing. He’s being like, “ha ha, I made it mine.” He’s being like, “ha ha, I’m making money off this too.” If he continues with this, a whole generation of kids is going to grow up associating the Confederate flag with Kanye West and less with the South. If he continues with this, white racists aren’t going to be able to use the symbol anymore. He’s spoiling it for them.
