I have neither love for the confederacy, nor its flag. In fact I was surprised to lean the confederate flag was a state flag. But this is ridiculous.
1) A product that companies thought was just fine a few days ago, is suddenly racist? Its been the same flag all along. The only thing that changed is public outcry. If its truly a symbol of racism, then they should be blasted for keeping it around as long as they have. Not get credit for riding the wave of public approval.
2) History is history. The good and the bad. Just because something bad happened, doesnt mean we should try to erase it. Its important to see where we've gone wrong, so we can learn from our mistakes and avoid repeating them.
Everyone is special. Everyone gets a trophy. No, nothing bad ever happened. I guess thats where we're heading.
3) IF I were the type to be outraged, Id be more outraged about the treason/sedition aspect of the flag; which is what it really stands for. That a group of states seceded, and caused the most deadly war this nation has ever known. Not the fact its been embraced by racists and recently turned into a racial icon. But thats just me.
