Finally, flying the Confederate flag can be understood as a form of systemic injustice according to Iris Marion Young's analysis of the concept. Young defines systemic injustice as "patterns of unequal social relations that are rooted in the everyday practices of a society's institutions" (Young, 2003, p. 45). In the case of the Confederate flag, its display in public spaces reflects and reinforces systemic racism by perpetuating symbols of white supremacy and exclusion, especially as groups today like the Ku Klux Klan as a symbol for such. The flag serves as a reminder of the historical injustices endured by African Americans and perpetuates patterns of inequality and discrimination in society. Therefore, flying the Confederate flag constitutes a form of structural injustice that must be addressed through collective action and social change. A good place to start is by removing it from display in public, government-associated places, like the South Carolina State House
