President Obama was greeted by people waving Confederate flags when he arrived in Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
Several dozen people stood on the sidewalk as the presidential motorcade arrived at hotel where Obama was staying. About 10 people were waving Confederate battle flags ...
"For many, black and white, that flag was a reminder of systemic oppression and racial subjugation, Obama recently said at the eulogy for one of the victims of the shooting. We see that now.
People waving Confederate flags also showed up when Obama visited Tennessee earlier this month.
