Looks like even Wallmart will stop selling that confederate flag.
The largest flag distributor in Canada is doing the same.



BTW, you can tell who the racists are by whether they come to the
"defense" of flying the confederate flag or lamenting that it is heading
to the museum, one state at a time, in the south.


It is just an issue of blaming symbols on insanity and crime. When
people object to the "pants hanging off your ass" look (which is
simply a symbol that the wearer has been to prison and not afraid to
go back) you folks on the left defend it. How about the million
"hoodie" march?

Let's hear it for drug gangs!


We don't see much "pants hanging off your ass" looks here in Calvert
County, or, when I go to downtown DC or Annapolis. Must be in your old
neighborhood here, I suppose.

The confederate flag is indeed a symbol when it flies on or over a
public space...it is a symbol of white power, racism, slavery, and
traitors.


You will see it if you get over in "souf'ese". I have a friend who is
rehabilitating an inlaw's house on Wheeler Road and I inspected the
electric for him a few years ago. There are plenty of gangsters down
there.
I will agree, perhaps this is not supposed to be on a state flag like
Mississippi but it is the choice of the people in that state, not
activists on MSNBC.

War memorials are a different issue but the country is full of them.
How are you on the ones that glorify the subjugation of the indians?


There was nothing honorable or worth honoring in the slaughter of
the Indians or in the south's secession or in the south's decision to go
to way to preserve slavery.
