In before SJWs ban that flag for being "triggering" and "promoting rape culture."There are symbols of southern, even TX history that haven't been co-opted by racists groups like the Confederate flag....
I don't think hardly anyone finds this offensive...
Ken Burns: Confederate flag isn't about heritage. It's about resistance to civil rights.
Ken Burns, the do entarian behind PBS's acclaimed The Civil War series, blasted the myth that the Confederate flag isn't a symbol of racism and white supremacy during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe.
"I think what happens is that we build up over time the sense of an excuse about why it came," Burns said. "If you read … South Carolina's articles of secession in November — after [Abraham] Lincoln's election of 1860 — they don't mention states' rights, they don't mention nullification. They mention slavery over and over again."
He later added, "Those [Confederate] flags came in after Brown v. Board of Education. This is not about heritage. This is about resistance to civil rights."

http://techcrunch.com/2015/06/25/app...federate-flag/Apple has now joined a host of merchants in removing the Confederate flag from its platform – in its case, the iTunes App Store. Several app developers are now reporting that their Civil War games, which featured imagery of the flag as part of their game’s historical context, have been pulled from the App Store.
Apple’s move to ban these games follows similar decisions by a number of major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Sears and others, which all announced bans on the sale of Confederate flag merchandise in the wake of the shooting deaths of nine black parishioners at a church in Charleston, S.C., this month.
I understand taking it down from gov buildings but this is going to far. Are kids now just going to learn about a one-sided civil war?
Can someone please convince me the South is better off without slavery?
i do agree the flag has no place being flown by the state... if an individual wants to waive the flag, its his right, but the state shouldn't endorse it
butat this sudden PC movement. nobody gave a (general public) about this one flag, now its the talk of the country. and LOL at apple doing that. why didnt they take it down before? it wasn't offensive then?
Yeah this is dumb. I expect a lot of the business "bans" on the flag to be temporary. No way eBay, for example, is going to police Confederate Flag stuff in perpetuity. They don't even ban Nazi gear.
The Apple thing makes no sense to me. Was anyone complaining about the flag in a Civil War game?
Sure -- they don't have slavery anymore.
I don't see how the businesses the eBay will walk it back though. Pretty comedy how Confederate flags sales are soaring now. SC should have just quietly taken them down, once the SJW's got involved on social media it just took off. I bet there are more flags flying and being worn today in the South than ever before.
Fine with me. Just stop flying it over gubmit stuff.
No argument from me.
Lol. That's like saying Mexico is enjoying it's glory days because there are less foreigners
No, the south is better because there is no slavery anymore.
It's pretty simple. Would've been better had there never been slavery in the first place but there you go. The worst thing about the South is many southerners' thinking things were better during slave times. It's been holding the region back for almost 150 years.
Their economy hasn't recovered since abolishing slavery
Who gives a fk how a minority group was treated
Define "recovered" -- was Mississippi's standard of living higher in 1840 than it is today?
Is North Carolina's?
White southerners spend almost as much time caring about what blacks think as you do. That's a big part of the problem. They live in abject and constant fear of minorities, just like you do.Who gives a fk how a minority group was treated
Annoyance. 7/10 an outrageous acting individual is Black and there aren't even that many of them here in San Diego!
The South is relatively worse off compared to the rest of the USA than it was during slavery [by a wide margin]. Please tell me you don't actually think Northerners went after the South because of some moral high ground. They wanted to cripple the South. Mission accomplished. The South today is practically unlivable.
See, you're thinking about them right now.
I'll wait for your figures proving that.The South is relatively worse off compared to the rest of the USA than it was during slavery [by a wide margin].
Will I be waiting long?
They wanted the South to stay in the Union. It's not like the North started the war. The South did.Please tell me you don't actually think Northerners went after the South because of some moral high ground. They wanted to cripple the South. Mission accomplished. The South today is practically unlivable.
A) I'm responding to your accusation
B) So people had slaves because they got tired of having dogs? Obviously there was an economic benefit from a cost-less work force. How could being forced to pay blacks for work after the Civil War be better? Because Blacks sure are the entrepreneur type.
C) And Russia wanted Ukraine to stay in the [Soviet] Union.
And you did nothing to refute it or prove anything you claimed.
Many were. Much more successful than you could ever hope to be tbh.B) So people had slaves because they got tired of having dogs? Obviously there was an economic benefit from a cost-less work force.

And blacks were a whole new market. Southerners were too busy being afraid of them to notice and tried to exclude them as much as possible. Cant blame them too much for their fear; they did enslave all those people.
Do they even speak the same language? It's not like the North started the war. The South did.C) And Russia wanted Ukraine to stay in the [Soviet] Union.
And they lost. Horribly. Decisively.
Should sue, win Millions of dollars. Buy thousands of similar shorts
lol facebook politics.
Do people know that when they fly the Confederate flag, they're siding with losers? Literally, they lost. It's a heritage of losing. You might as well fly an LA Clippers flag over your home.
As soon as you convince us that this board is better off with you.
