Deeming the Confederate flag a visible declaration of segregation the world is divided on what should become of the flag. The defense of the flag which for many represents hate and not heritage, confirms racism still lives on in the form of Confederate pride.

The tragedy in Charleston has revived the movement to remove the Confederate battle flag from the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse. Those who want the flag to come down view its existence as a reminder of the war fought to maintain slavery and white supremacy. Others view is as a part of history and Southern heritage.

      it is a piece of cloth.

      if this flag is banned, don’t you see the dangerous precedent this sets???

      next month, what if black panther flags or christian flags were banned???

      as voltaire famously said, “i detest what you say but i defend to the death your RIGHT TO SAY IT.”

      SEE THE WRITING ON THE TOTALITARIAN WALL, FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!

        Thanks for your comment. I don’t suggest it is banned, per se, but it needs to be removed from a state building where a racism mentality is still very prevalent. I’d say the same about a black panther flag flying on a government building.

        LOL, I love this: “i detest what you say but i defend to the death your RIGHT TO SAY IT.” :grin:
