Just wanted to know what you guys think of this. I'm kind of glad because of what it represents but with this we also lose a period of our history. The confederate flag doesn't only represent slavery but also states rights, a battle we still fight today.

I don't know why people who say the flag isn't racist would care about this.

If they're genuinely flying the flag because of it's history with the confederate states and the south, there is SIX different versions of the flag that were used by the confederate states that the average person who is offended by the typical confederate flag wouldn't even know what it was from.

EDIT: If they're trying to get this flag banned outright, like against the law banned, they should be slapped.

People have the right to be racist assholes if they want, same thing for the shitheads who like to burn the American flag.
It's the price of freedom of speech.

We can't just make something illegal because we are offended by it.

I agree with you. The only reason why I am not offended by it is because of it's historical purpose. Because of what it means of state's rights.

I agree with you but not many people will. Everyone has a right to share their opinion even if it goes against others.

Opinions.

I could go and say I want the LGBT Flag banned because it offends me as a Christian. Just because my opinion towards a certain thing is bad, doesn't mean it should be banned and stop being sold by retailers.

If I still had my truck, I'd be flying a Confederate flag so damn high.

If I had a store, I don't think I would have ever started selling it to begin with. It's not a flat out ban by the government, so it is fine. Retailers don't want it on their shelves, so it is their call.
