If she was so worried about it being up why didn't' see remove it months/years ago. I'm not saying I'm in favor of the flag but I see a lot of people suddenly using that horrible massacre as a reason to suddenly do stuff like this. The flag was not the reason that worthless POS did what he did. Just seems like while people probably never liked it they are trying to take advantage of the 9 innocent deaths to fit there agenda.
Walmart refuses to make cake with Confederate flag, makes one with ISIS flag
Well, they probably didn't even know what the ISIS symbol and flag were. Yes ISIS is all over the media but doesn't mean everyone knows everything about ISIS. Sounds like another dude wanting his 15 minutes of viral fame and hero worship.
In a YouTube video posted Friday, Chuck Netzhammer says a Walmart in Slidell, Louisiana, refused to create a cake with a Confederate battle flag that included the phrase, "Heritage, not hate." The store refused to make the cake, he said. But, he added, the same store had no problem making a cake with the black ISIS flag.
"On 06/25/15 I attempted to get an Edible image cake printed with the confederate flag image on it at Walmart," he said in the video's description. "It was denied. The next day I had them do the same for the ISIS battle flag image I brought to them."
Netzhammer said the store bakery "cheerfully" made the cake and sold it to him. "ISIS is beheading Christians, selling little girls into slavery, and is currently a terrorist org at war with the United States," he said. But, he added, "you can't buy the General Lee toy car at Wallmart? It's a damn shame."
More complicated because the Confederate Flag was the flag of South Carolina, which employed him ....its perception as both a racist symbol and a symbol of southern pride and states rights make it complicated. But you will see a backlash and firing of blacks for wearing attire objectionable if this is allowed to stand.
It's not complicated at all. The confederate flag is a symbol of racism and the people that don't believe so are wrong or have an agenda. That's a pretty simple concept.
Not the right way to do things.
She did break the law, but in my opinion it should be against the law to fly it on gov. property.
Just let things happen legelly it will be down by the end of the year.
Sometimes laws need to be broken to bring attention to them or bring about change.
Every Yankee that I know (myself included) honestly doesn't understand what y'all in the south are doing still hanging onto the Confederacy and treating it like the great revolt. It's actually pretty sad. And I say this as the grandchild of a wonderful southern grandmother, who also thinks y'all need to let it go.
