Guys flying the Confederate battle flag rescuing black people tells us that the flag is not a symbol of racism to them. Those being rescued didn't seem to care what flag was flying. They got in the boat.
Although Oathkeepers does not fly a Confederate flag (would be awesome if they did), this reminds me of what happened in Ferguson, during the Obama-inspired riots.
The local black population was told that there was an armed white supremacist militia (Oathkeepers) that was coming to kill them. When they saw armed Oathkeepers taking up tactical and overwatch on top of buildings, they were naturally frightened after being told they were being hunted.
They quickly learned that the Oathkeepers were not there to hunt or kill them, but to protect them and their businesses.
The Oathkeepers became heroes to those minority business people that day and there are dozens of photos online of local minorities smiling and laughing with the Oathkeepers, knowing that they were with friends, in spite of the lies they had been told.
Now, of course, the vast, vast majority of Americans didn't know this because none of that was reported on CNN. It didn't fit the narrative.
Glad to see these guys helping their neighbors and dispelling another myth.
