I don't feel I have been corrected one bit other than
The Mexican war slip.
Lol yur really angry now huh.
Did you know they erected some of these statues and started flying the flag after Jim crow laws were coming down.
So you tell me who changed the meaning.

If this was really about the statue, and history, and not the racial implications, they would label their actions as protecting American heritage instead of labeling it "white heritage".
Racists make themselves pretty obvious if you take the time to listen.
Racism is about discriminating against other races, not about celebrating your own race. If that were the case, then all the Mexican Americans waiving the Mexican flag and celebrating their Mexican heritage are racists.
But aren't the statues part of all our history? That's what people keep saying in defense of things like this.
So why label it as "white heritage" when it's all our heritage? Unless they are intentionally adding a racial aspect for their own reasons..
And Mexican isn't a race.
Aren't African-American's contributions part of all of our history? Yet we have Black History Month. Why label it Black History Month, if it is all of our history?

What makes it a White Supremacist rally?
Because it's the political right?

It's disingenuous to try and compare Black History month to a racist rally where people are screaming racial epithets. Come on now.
One is a month set aside to celebrate contributions by the black community, and one is a rally set on warping history in the hopes of validating current identity politics.
You're talking about apples and bowling balls.

So what displaying the Daesh flag is also not forbidden and people use the Daesh finger gesture all the time as well. I call that faux outrage and nothing more. It's called free speech even if you don't like it.
