Confederate flag won't be up for breakfast

[henschman]

We gonna be on TV!!! I can see it now.

"Racist White Militia Trains Under Confederate Flag"

I hope not... we are already to the point where we are selling all our tickets in 9 days. Can you imagine how many folks would come out of the woodwork to do Run 'n Gun if we got that kind of media coverage?

I don't need any media coverage, can you imagine how hard the 500 yard shot would be with cameras all over the place... If we could just keep that wind from howling

We won't get past our racist history until we eradicate all traces of slavery and the Civil War. Once it's all scrubbed from the history books and even the mere mention of these topics is a felony, racism will be abolished in our time!

Now who could argue with that?

Worked in Germany.

That falls back to my post earlier in this thread that its equal to ICIS blowing up the burial and historic sites. They are doing this to scrub all prior history. In their minds, they are trying to do the same as the folks that are trying to eradicate the history of the US.

The Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is calling for the elimination of the US flag. The most pure of all anti-racism are on their bully pulpits raging against anything with a piece of cloth.

The Political correctness involved in this thread is disgusting. Meanwhile the funerals of American Citizens killed by a human and not a rag are ongoing. Every one of the political correct people seemed to have forgot about the reason this whole dammed argument started.

Amen!!!!

...the only reason Apple pulled the Civil War apps from the store was fear of the internet - specifically, fear of the worst part of the internet, where lack of reason is balanced by an excess of enthusiasm. No rational person would complain that there were Civil War sims. No sensible person would believe that society would be improved by demanding their removal. No emotionally stable person could think that they were safer now because someone, somewhere, would not get updates to a game they purchased that allowed them to fight as the Union Army but contained the sight of the Confederate flag. Anyone who would believe these things is tethered to reality by a frayed strand of dental floss, and while they may live in a comfy bubble where everyone believes the same things and has at least two friends who are doing very important work in the field of instructional graffiti, most people are stable enough to resist the siren call of the Stars and Bars, even in the form of a picture on a phone.

But. The loud people may complain. The company would have to explain. An explanation would be seen as a justification.

Of course there are nuances to this; Apple is working with developers to use a different, earlier flag, according to some reports. Because that’s the issue, right? Finding an acceptable flag to represent a slave state? As I noted elsewhere, the app store still has a game that lets you simulate the USSR, including an in-app purchase that lets you fine-tune your oppression settings. One could say this is okay because the USSR was an equal-opportunity killer, just as the repression settings in “Tropico” are hunky and / or dory because you’re putting the screws to your own people. If that’s the case, then they have decided that American Slavery is not only a unique historical event, but something whose magnitude and uniqueness sets it apart from every other act of state oppression and governmental violation of human rights. The enslavement of an entire population is not offensive, per se, because it’s color-blind.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

I remember reading that in HS and though it could never be like that, I also remember reading catcher in the rye and saying I could never think like that. Excuse I'm being forced to go buy my 451st copy of catcher.
