    Ought to be hard at work seeking to ban the Rainbow Flag since the Roanoke shooter was gay.

    I mean this *has* to happen, right?

          A bit, but comparing the 2 flags is really ridiculous.

            Nobody's comparing 2 flags.

            I'm pointing out that the notion a flag is responsible for murder is absurd.

            Maybe I'm expecting too much?

              Oh so you were not trying to compare the situations in SC and Virgina? Where there was an out cry over the confederate flag. My bad guess I read to much into your original statement. Flags are symbols, if people started using the Rainbow flag as a symbol of hate\aggression I could see an argument for removing it, kinda like you never see the swastika even though it has more uses than Nazism.

                  I got it. Blaming a flag, even the confederate flag is stupid and pointless.

                  Side note I went to the erie county fair two weeks ago and the confederate flag was everywhere. The black people didn't seem all that offended.

                  Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                    Does the rainbow flag have the history that the confederate flag did? Was the rainbow flag institutionally flown over a group of oppressed and enslaved people? And I thought it was a cool flag and maybe we could just forget about the past and let it fly, but then i"m not black and live on streets in the south still named after some of the most utterly heinous human beings that walked this land. I would rather them have dropped some of the statues, streets and various other honoraries of some truly despicable human beings no matter the era...than drop the flag. Would have liked to see them take a mulligan on that flag and start over with it....but that wasn't my call and frankly my, or anyone else's opinion here, doesn't matter.

                    When the rainbow flag ever comes to symbolize oppression and enslavement i'll be all for it to be taken down.

                            Slavery was a poor institution but your characterization of southerners as some of the most heinous people that walked this earth is pretty naive and just plain out wrong. History is absolutely filled with much more atrocious ways of being than the South even during the height of slavery.

                            Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

                                  No.

                                  The gay flag should be banned by the mere fact that it's so fuckin gay. Kinda like Cleve.

                                    I mean this *has* to happen, right?

                                    Does the rainbow flag have the history that the confederate flag did? Was the rainbow flag institutionally flown over a group of oppressed and enslaved people? And I thought it was a cool flag and maybe we could just forget about the past and let it fly, but then i"m not black and live on streets in the south still named after some of the most utterly heinous human beings that walked this land. I would rather them have dropped some of the statues, streets and various other honoraries of some truly despicable human beings no matter the era...than drop the flag. Would have liked to see them take a mulligan on that flag and start over with it....but that wasn't my call and frankly my, or anyone else's opinion here, doesn't matter.

                                    When the rainbow flag ever comes to symbolize oppression and enslavement i'll be all for it to be taken down.

                                    If your last statement were true dickhead, then you could call any flag flying today belonging to a nation that participated in slavery "a symbol of oppression", including the stars and stripes.

                                    Go ahead, tell me I'm bad at reading comprehension again.

                                      Fuck the 'it symbolized oppression'. The Confederacy is long DEAD... its the flag of nothing. A dead nation, it represents no peoples.

                                        Slavery was a poor institution but your characterization of southerners as some of the most heinous people that walked this earth is pretty naive and just plain out wrong. History is absolutely filled with much more atrocious ways of being than the South even during the height of slavery.

                                        "some" southerners cysko. Some of the people that still have streets named after them and statues erected of them in national parks are indeed some of the most contemptible people by any era's standards, that this country has put out.
