Removal of the National Flag has already been mentioned - but not by the native Americans. It was brought up by Louis Farrakhan because of the oppression that blacks have experienced under it. Exactly what I meant when I asked for common sense to be brought to this issue. Louis Farrakhan knows how to throw gasoline, but I'm not sure how much he knows about positive change.
Some days I just feel like fishing- trolling to be exact.

I wonder if race makes a difference in how folks feel. I did ask the question in a mixed setting and was surprised at the feedback. For me personally, I could care less and I don't understand the attachment, so I say take it down.
mmm....agree for the most part. But it seems to me the "black" argument for offense is heaps a lot more valid. To me, that is understandable.
And I agree, it seems to have become a supportable issue recently b/c of some nutjob who apparently claimed for evil what some ppl think of as an innocent symbol. But then, it is a shame to think that a large majority of our unified country have been quietly offended for a very long time. A symbol isn't worth the humiliation, shame and degredation of a race of people - IF that is what is actually happening.
I would give more weight to the hurting than I would to some honky tonk who simply has special feelings about rwb X's.
And as to offense, being offended by slavery is pretty legit as I see it. Being offended that some obscure public bldg. you've never been to no longer has your specially colored fabric waving in the breeze is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. imho, of course.

From Honorable Allen West's Facebook:
"Yippee, the Confederate battle flag has now been removed from the grounds of the South Carolina State Capitol. And, just like that, it solves the problem of black-on-black crime and killings. Now we’ll see the out-of-wedlock birthrate in the black community drop from 75%. There will be better educational opportunities and schools in South Carolina’s black communities and all across America. The black unemployment rate will drop —especially the almost 40% black teenage unemployment rate. We’ll now see an economic entrepreneurial boon in the inner cities because the Confederate battle flag’s been lowered. And there’ll be no more gangs of blacks beating on whites — as we saw in Ohio recently. Yep, the liberal progressive media shouted "squirrel" and an entire nation went a running. All the yelling and shouting by the crowds was evidence of those who lack grace, respect and dignity. Former South Carolina Gamecocks football coach Lou Holtz remarked that when you get to the end zone, you should act like you’ve been there before. So what does the lowering of the Confederate battle flag have to do with the killing of little seven-year-old Amari Brown in Chicago — anyone know when his funeral is?"

There has been a call on Facebook and Twitter for people to go on to private property and tear down confederate flags. This, to me, seems like an idiotic thing to do and I can't imagine it ending well. Don't the people that would be foolhardy enough to do something like this know that, for the most part, the same ones that fly that flag are the people that will protect their property by any means necessary i.e. with a gun. Remember people, you have the right to demand something be removed from government property but you never have the right to remove or vandalize something on public property. This movement is going to get someone killed.

Take it down one place and it gets put up in 1,000,000 other places all at once.
I mean.... it's a shame.

Anyone offended by the display of the flag at their concerts, can just exercise their right not to buy a ticket to their concert. I personally don't think it will affect the concert attendance much.
