This is such a dumb argument. Do the white people with Southern heritage who think the flag is offensive, do their opinions not matter? Cause I'll tell you right now, there are a TON more white Southerners who think the flag is offensive than their are black counterparts but they're probably brainwashed by the liberal media right?

Which is worse;

-  people feeling offended at the site of an inanimate object

or

- people being physically attacked/financially punished for displaying an inanimate object

?

Narcoleptic Insomniac:
You make it sound up there like people can't feel outrage at both past and present day slavery.

Kinchy:
Woah there alaskun, chill your beans. You made lots of assumptions. I never said the confederate flag was the worst thing ever, or that there aren't current slavery issues that I disagree with. I just said it's got racist tones, and it was rightly shamed. I can think that AND ALSO think there are other, even worse things happening.

Sounds like you have a complex.

I'll lay it out straight. Life's not fair. It's not fair to black people, it's not fair to people of other races, and guess what, in a certain instances it's not fair to white people. Be glad the worst they have to deal with is the small chance that they could get 'physically attacked/financially' punished cause people wanted to wave their dumbass flag in some bullshit name of freedom. Cause this absolutely pales in comparison to people physically attacked/financially punished for simply being black.
