i agree with you. the flag has no place in the government in my opinion also. to avoid the state flag issue i think it hould come up for a vote.

Just this has gone a bit extreme. I can not buy a rebel flag on line but i can get nazi and isis all day long?

duke of hazards? that was my final straw. hell that was offense to all white southerns lol

The extremist are hurting the message as they always do with ever thing they touch.

Can you not get a rebel flag online? From what I understand only EBay and Wal Mart and maybe Amazon chose to not carry the item for sale any longer. I'm fine with that. Its their business and if the money lost/gained is something they can live with then more power to them. There are still other online vendors where you can get flags. I haven't checked so I don't know.

And no I am not saying African Americans do not have the right to be mad. All I am saying is that at a certain point people need to learn how to let go of their hate and baggage in order to move on.
It is said in just about every religion and agreed by many psychologists that the only way someone can move on and be free in their personal life is by learning to let go of any emotional baggage, accept it for what it is, own it, learn from it, and move on. It will make you stronger in the end .The same is true in society. Throughout history everyone, every race, religion, society, country, has been **** on at some point in time. If we all went around pointing fingers to this day we would never have progressed as a species.

And the civil war was mostly all about slavery. The South wanted to keep slaves and every state in the confederacy wanted to have the right to choose weather or not they got to keep slaves. Slavery was unconstitutional. States had their rights as long as they practiced them within the confines of the constitution. The southern states didn't want to accept the fact that slavery was unconstitutional.

Exactly, it's a state-rights issue and should be handled through the legislature/state government, not the media or protests ... the more these groups protest, riot and make demands like removing national monuments, statues, et ... the less I find myself caring,
