As stated, I'm COMPLETELY for removing the Confederate Flag from government buildings. Hell, I'd even rename the streets which are named after Confederate personages. HA HA, fuck them. They lost.

I would be willing to let The South With Rise Again types move into little reservations, the same horrible way we treated other peoples who lost wars of aggression. It's not right, but it's consistent. We could also go ahead and sell that land out from under them the moment we found useful resources, the same way we've treated the indigenous people's reservations.

But, back on topic, Amazon and Apple are free to say "no thanks" to selling goods which feature offensive items on them but in both cases it feels like a moral panic more than a consistent business decision. I mean, any amount of money Amazon and Apple make as their cut from third-party sellers could be donated to groups which oppose the actual items. That would be a more elegant solution.

I think it'd be cool if Apple or Amazon had someone check on the stuff, and see like "oh, obvious civil war historical game/app, exempt that" vs. stuff that might be more celebrating/promoting/etc.

I have no idea if they're doing this, I don't read news stories that say "Apple" in the headline unless it's like "Local man gets apple removed from rectum at hospital."

I agree a panic is going on with Amazon. They sell all types of questionable shit, I don't see a problem with that list including Confederate shit.

My general view is that if people want to buy or display the flag that's their business. I reserve the right to judge the fuck outta you tho. I just don't want it flying on government property, and if a business displayed it I wouldn't shop there.

Fuckleberry Finn here felt threatened and insulted by the racial slurs while driving in a confederate flag "peace ride" through a 77% black town.

C'mon. This isn't TheOnion?

“The racial slurs are really what hurt me,” Oliver remarked. “You know, it’s uncalled for. There’s no need for that in today’s society.”
