They have the right to believe whatever they want, but they don't have a right to their own facts.Even if the flag didn't exist he would have still killed those people.
Yes, and 57% of people overall view it as a symbol of southern pride. Why should blacks frankly irrational view of the flag trump 57% of the people?
And it's 72% of blacks that view it as a symbol of racism, not 75%.

He needs a higher purpose to promote his views: The flag
Any questions?
Guess what? You can pretty much put anything in the last two slots. So the question only ishow many things do you want to ban?

If not for the Confederate flag, Dylann Roof would have been a lovely young man.
One of the best scenes in any movie I have ever seen! And "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" is a classic line that has withstood the test of time! Excellent! :thumbs: I may drag that movie out and watch it again this weekend!
View attachment 67187047Someone used THIS symbol of hate...
to stick a bunch of Japanese folks in interment camps.
No one is saying that. What we are saying is that having a traitorous symbol of hate flag on government property does not send the best message.
Sure they are. That's why Dylann Roof's name keeps coming up repeatedly. It's why his murder of 9 innocent people keeps coming up when discussing the flag.
No, his horrific racist crime did inspire people to look at our society, see what's wrong, and get involved to try and change it. When you have a person commit such a horrible racist crime, it's a little harder to see a racist symbol being flown on public property.
A long time ago, when I had more hair I had that used on me by the wife of the Prime Minister of Canada, Margaret Trudeau, in the beginning stages of a nervous breakdown was attending a Liberal fund raiser. She had just come from Washington where Nixon's court had snubbed her because her hemline was way too high - she had great legs btw. We were ordered not to speak top her and, being trained in America and believing in the right of a free press I approached her and asked "were you surprised at the issue made of your dress at the White House? Her reply, a smiling "Quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"
It was front page across the land. Sometimes journalism really is bull****
It's not my problem if you have no understanding of psychology or depression.
Nonsense.
The Flag of the Northern States flew for over 80 years while Slavery was legal.
So you've never heard of the Missouri Compromise or the Kansas wars where the South tried to expand slavery?The North seemed to only have a problem with slavery when the South wanted to secede.
His crime inspired people to look at a flag. In other words, the flag had something to do with what he did.Extra points for using "racist" multiple times in 2 sentences.
Seriously, it is ridiculous. Someone yell the south will rise again. It equates to me yelling end the fed. Never going to happen.
Yes. Yes.
Yet another madman went nuts and killed some people in the US, such a rare event...
But this time we will get even....we're going to punish a flag.
Oh, that's gonna work.

If that flag hadn't been there, he would have lived in peace and harmony with his fellow man. I wonder just how many trips to the state capital a choir boy like Dylann Roof took in his lifetime to see this flag that apparently sent him some sort of subliminal messages or something.
And that says what about that horrible oppressive symbol of hatred pictured?
There was a guy in New York once said a dog made him kill people, they named him Son of Sam.
How come dogs weren't banned?
