Another terrible race motivated attack.

[Sarmatian]

The stars and bar is the battle flag of the army of Northern Virginia. It is not the flag of the CSA. The stars and stripes was born from slavery as well, those men very much believed in the inferiority of negros, and the men whom oversaw it's creation were the spearhead on a continent wide ethnic cleansing.

It all boils to 50 shades of grey - sure, I guess someone will be insulted by a Unicef flag, or feel wronged by someone or something the flag represents, but we can not use that as an excuse.

I don't believe that only racists like that flag, and I do agree there are people who like that flag and hate slavery and racism, but that is not a good enough reason to keep it. I'm sure there are other ways to express love for southern culture.

On the inside, all Europeans are dirty little fascists.

You know I can't resist you when you go full Dixie on me...

I wouldn't go that far.

banning it from being flown at Government buildings is fine and justified - banning Joe public from flying it if they want is a no no

it infringes their rite to be a backwards racist if they want to

I wouldn't care much.

Maybe this is because I grew up where I grew up and experienced it all. Symbols are powerful tools.
