Are we going too far?

[Dan]

Erm no. They were pro states doing what they want. Flag was born to represent the southern trying to keep their freedom from the northern aggression. Part of the south was pro slavery and therefore thats what they say it represents and it racist. But its major revisionist history. And now in the south it represents a southern way of life and not having a way of life forced on you. And Kind of what's happening now.... thats probably why people are so against.

Meh.
The Confederacy was born to preserve slavery when Lincoln won and they thought the north would free the slaves.

What did I miss?

The letter "O"

[yaakov35]

The northern aggression that they actual won an election. The nerve.

Say what you want but what is happening now is a play by play of the pre civil war era

[CountValentine]

The letter "O"

Get a life.
I thought I used "our".

Terrible comparison.

I have a life, quite a good one if I don't say so myself. One in which the letter "O" is used exactly as often as it is supposed to be, no more, no less.

Be careful before the grammar police come after you. I've heard they have some systemic biases.

[Dan]

Now there will be a movement to ban all Confederate Flags!

Don't see how that would be compatible with 1A.

I was thinking that as I was reading about NASCAR.

They are open to the public. What if they decided to ban the American Flag.

I'm lost.

Will have to look it up. IIRC one of the rulings about the boy scouts had to do with them being open to the public.

[yaakov35]

Talking about

Lol. But think about it, america is splitting down the middle, one side driving hard to the left and one hard to the right. The left is making everyone apologize for everything, be tolerant and so far to the left that you can topple over. Its gonna come a time when people are going to get fed up with being told how to live, what to say, how to walk, what you can post online,  anarchy and lawlessness in the streets.... scary if you think about it.

Sounds weird to me, sounds like the higher ups don’t understand who their fan base is. I wouldn’t be shocked if the drivers start making a ruckus about this

🤷🏻‍♂️
I give up, this world is nuts.
Cant predict anything anymore

[Jellybelly]

I'd imagine that the Confederate flag to a black person would be like a Jew seeing a Nazi flag. I sure wouldn't feel comfortable at events with the Nazi flag flying.

Why does the Confederate flag still have a place in today's society other than on statues or in museums?

Where will it stop? Next their gonna abolish the constitution and anything done during the first 100 yrs if this country because they were all slave owners
