The confederate flag that everybody is all up in arms about wasn't even the flag of the confederacy.....

the latest I heard too was that they are planning on digging up the remains of a confederate general and his wife and moving them.....this has gone from ridiculous to insane.

Likely something some had wanted for a while but now they have some momentum to get it done. Perhaps it goes to show how negative these symbols really are within certain circles.

Not that I agree, your history good or bad can't be disowned...that being said it was time to take the flag down.

I do want my Dukes back though.

Well - everyone is offended now. We have reached near Peak Politically Correct Offendedism.

That way we will all be equal under our New Chinese Overlords when they come asking for their money back.
