South Carolina made history today by removing the Confederate flag from its post on the state Capitol grounds in Columbia. Cheers of "U.S.A." erupted as the color guard removed the flag and folded it.
Woah! That's a big one!Now that the flag is down there will be no more racism and no one will ever get shot again
Now that the flag is down there will be no more racism and no one will ever get shot again

No.
But at least the state will no longer fly a flag that says "We hate niggers".
You realize that NOBODY is arguing this right. So you're making fun of an argument that was never made. How does that feel? Your comment reads like a toddler stomping his feet after somebody took his toy.Now that the flag is down there will be no more racism and no one will ever get shot again
The flag doesnt say that. YOU say that. Some make it mean that. The Confederate flag no more means that than the US flag does.No.

There's evidence to suggest that merely seeing the Confederate flag makes a person act slightly more racist.
The flag doesnt say that. YOU say that. Some make it mean that. The Confederte flag nomore means that than the US flag does.
BTW...thats late senator Robert Byrd on the horse...selected for his excellent riding skills and commitment to 'the flag'.
The Confederate Battle Flag is not a Nazi swastika. Some have used it as a symbol of oppression, just as some have used the US flag for the same purpose.The swastika has it's origins dating back to ancient China, but if you're flying it generally means you hate jews. We don't need a swastika flying over a state capitol. It kinda sends the wrong message.
Wrong, this point needs to be brought up.
I agree that the State should not be flying this flag at the capital. I get it. But these arguments for pressure on private businesses and old Confederate burial grounds brings up the point for us. Remove all the flags, even go so far as to outlaw, and you are left with the conclusion that racial hatred is not cured. Only education does this, which will be submarined by efforts to rewrite it.
Where does that article state "Now that the flag is down there will be no more racism and no one will ever get shot again" because that's what you posted and nobody has said that.Actually people were making that argument

And, again, nobody is saying that removing Confederate flags will "cure" racial hatred. So what the **** are you talking about?Wrong, this point needs to be brought up.

Because crying about a flag being mean is what grown-ups do.
I completely understand you will assign whatever meaning to it you choose. I also believe you have the right to be offended. Similarly...I observe how you just completely ignore the fact that the KKK usurped the US flag and they TOO used it as a symbol of oppression (and perhaps rightfully so considering the US had a history of slavery long before the formation of the confederate states).It has the same meaning for many, black and non-black. Just like the swastika, you can believe it's not offensive, but that just doesn't pan out when rubber meets the road.
Why do find this so hard to understand?
Indeed.No, it's worse than the swastika. It's the flag that traitors to the USA flew in the war that they fought in support of slavery and racism.
BTW: They lost.
