We’ve read an article about a black woman who explains her life in college. She was one of few black students at a small college in Kentucky in the early 2000s. She tells about how the white students made the few blacks feel very unwelcome. For example, there hung Confederate flags in the college windows. The whites kept saying it symbolized their “Southernes” and southern pride.
1. The main purpose is to inform. To inform especially the whites about how there's still racism in the US the day today.
The target audience is mainly whites and to remind them that there's still racism even though they might not feel like they are treating the blacks differently than others.
Some black people may also read the article and relate to the text and feeling, but it’s not the audience that the author tried to catch when she wrote the text.
2. The type of article is an opinion piece, since she’s the one who had written the article (a 1. person writer) and therefore it’s very biased. We hear a lot from her own experiences and get to know her opinions.
The flag in the article got removed but the feeling of it was still there. It’s exactly the same in the US. The racism laws might have changed but there’s still racial segregation.

The verb ''wrote'' is wrongly inflected, the correct inflection 'had written'
3rd last sentence: Rewrite it, so it makes sense, perhaps use some commas.
Otherwise, the blogpost was beautifully written, and also very understandable.
You are good at describing the case, so it makes sense to the reader!
