Confederate Group Counters #BlackLivesMatter Protest with Misspelled Plane Banner

A Confederate group in Virginia countered a #BlackLivesMatter protest this past weekend with a plane banner that was just a teensy bit misspelled:

I’d like to buy an “E,” Alex.

TheBlaze reported that this group, called The Virginia Flaggers, was trying to push back against #BlackLivesMatter and efforts to get Confederate monuments renamed.

#BlackLivesMatter was in Virginia on training day for the UCI Road World Championships and protesters spoke about how “most Richmonders do not support showcasing these monuments to Confederate military and political leaders during this world-famous sports event.”
