The rebel flag
    #21865715 - 06/27/15 07:20 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

Is the Charleston massacre a valid reason for removing the stars and bars from civil service?

Should it be removed regardless?

So, is an obvious false flag reason enough to remove a real flag with real history?  I would say no, obviously.

Well it sure seems to me that it no longer represents anything honorable, if it ever did.

As usual, nobody on here seems to get it.  The rebel flag represents rebellion.  Removing it represents the removal of rebellion by censorship.  It's a start of a disturbing trend towards even more political correctness and oppression of free speech.

Honor?  What was honorable about removing that flag?  To prove what?  That the censors are getting geared up to keep increasing their politically correct fascism? 

It was a freaking false flag.  It didn't actually happen.  Why should we think it did when it didn't?  Do you think that cops would actually take a murder suspect to Burger King before booking him?  Really?  And love would win out over even a hint of anger at your momma being killed in cold blood.  Really?  Y'all worried about the rebel flag y'all better get started worrying about losing your right to free speech even if others don't like it.

I had not yet given my opinion. :nono:

And yes I agree. So do other people.

So the fact that the KKK flies it proudly doesn't bother you?  Or that it represents centuries of slave-trading and -owning, which itself comprises wanton slaughter of "worthless darkies"?  It means all that, too.  Is it that easy for you to replace that meaning with "rebellion," and make it okay?

The goddam thing is a total anachronism, anyway.  Who the fuck cares.  Keep it, remove it.  Who cares?

its not the CSA flag.

it was used after the end of the civil war by the pro slavery people.

it doesnt matter either way because its free fucking speech.

people have the right to be horrible assholes. racism included.

If I see one more thing about race in the news I will puke.  If I see one more thing in the news about politically correct petty bullshit getting blown out of proportion I will puke.

Is anyone else sick of it?

Instead of worrying about the flag those people should be in black communities organizing volunteer activities and improving the community.  Not tweeting all day about how offensive it is, bunch of phony mother fuckers who want to convince people they're of strong moral fiber.

The North was just as racist as the South, they just had less of a reason for slaves because their wealth came from industry and it was cheaper to give small wages then have to keep slaves alive on your property in a factory.

In reality, its just a flag and people should stop getting so butthurt about it. actually, i dont care, leftist butthurt cracks me up.

no, banning anything because one lone loon went on a spree is insane. if anyone thinks that a flag sent this guy over the edge is nuts. anyone thinking that banning guns will stop these events is also nuts. Dylan could have killed everyone inside with an axe bought at the closest walmart.
