In a statement to Fox 5 News the MTA says: “These are not confederate flags, it is a design based on geometric forms that represent the “Crossroads of the World” and to avoid absolutely any confusion we will modify them to make that absolutely crystal clear.”
“Having solved all other problems…”
Yes that's the problem with the subways in NY. https://t.co/EzHEAbAPJ8

If you think this is a Confederate flag, you are very, very stupid. Very, very stupid people should not dictate public policy. https://t.co/JN38grxxis
