I'm in favor of removing the flag but...

... this is a good example of how things can quickly spiral out of control:
http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/apple-removes-civil-war-games-from-app-store-over-confederate-flag-usage.1894949/
-------------------------
"Apple has removed seemingly all Civil War games from the App Store for displaying the Confederate Flag in "offensive and mean-spirited ways," our sister website TouchArcade has learned. Apple has sent a removal letter to affected developers to inform them that their app does not comply with Section 19.1 of the App Store Review Guidelines."

Context people.

Not out of control...

Private companies can do what they want and sell what they want. Now, if the government were telling Apple not to sell these apps, that would be a problem.

I understand that companies can do what they want. I didn't mean the government is out of control, I just meant that Apple has gone too far despite their good intentions. In the context of using the flag as a current symbol I think it should go, but you can't erase it from history.
The games that were removed are just trying to realistically portray events as they occured in the past. I don't see how that can be lumped in the same "offensive and mean-sprited" category as displaying it as a symbol today.

do you not see how absurd this has gotten. Clay Travis' article he wrote yesterday was a great summary of the whole situation.
I mean now we've got Mary Landrieu apologizing to black people for the City of New Orleans actions in the slave trade. Its gotten way out of hand......and really where is the stopping point.
I think the best solution is to get Doc Brown to make that time machine work again and lets go back thru time and reshape history....we can enslave all of the 'white' race and reverse the whole thing. Then thousands of years later the cycle starts again.

When you apologize for something you didn't do intelligent..

people take it as patronizing. Saying you're sorry for something that happened is consolation and should not be an obligation but done from concern.
Now which was it?
Due to the continuance of poor communities being red-lined by police departments I believe the movie 12 Years a Slave was misunderstood. The movie had only one virtue, it pointed out something we already should known. Poor people including blacks didn't have the protection of authorities others have. Everybody knew blacks were enslaves, 12 years isn't a lifetime.

Hopefully some will take a moment to remember these names as they take a whiz on them as they flash by their coffins in the haste to take advantage of a tragedy for their own personal agendas and crusades.
Those are the now forgotten names of the victims.
As shameful as the race baiters and leftists have been in this matter, one expects little better from those shameless harpies, but the rest of Americans should have the pride and intellect to resist acting as the lemmings in this asinine political theatre.
We owe it to the victims of this tragedy whom have already been tossed aside by the progressives and their MSM wing as they usually do in their joy in using tragedies to further their political plans.

they prevented the sale of historically accurate video games and got a flag taken down. Now racism, mental illness, and mass shootings are truly over.
In other news the TPP, which supplants the rule of law of the Constitution of the United States and infringes upon the right of self-governance, is being quietly fast tracked.

Seriously, the next items - the Bible (due to "hate speech") and the US flag (due to offensive to the world)
