    “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.
