Re: Nazi Flag
The whacko logic re confederate flags is that it symbolizes the South. The problem is that the South that it symbolizes were slave owners and bigots and these brilliant people brutalized blacks!
Defending the confederate flag is the same thing as defending racism and segregation.
Good point regarding confederate flags. Down South you still see them all the time, they're not necessarily looked down upon despite representing racism.punkyg0608 said:Good point, truth-bringer. I'd just like to add that Confederate flags are still sold in the United States, and though I was surprised to see them, I decided that the store should be allowed to sell them if they want to. I'd say the same for Nazi flags. I don't like the idea of it, but I don't see any law that the store's are breaking by selling them.
