All i can think of is "Who cares? Why wait till 2015 to cry about being offended" this year it seems america has pathetically been offended over everything. Spare me from seeing pathetic rednecks plastering the confederate flag everywhere in this ugly state of Louisiana; it basically cries "i want attention they wanna ban a flag ill put it everywhere and on everything i own i'll show them" they act like freaking babies and its pathetic

For current events, isn't that a little old of news? Anyway, my mane problem with it is this: A white guy shoots up a black church, a tragedy, consisting of committing a sin on holy land with racist intents, and we get mad about a stupid flag!? If this isn't the best evidence I've ever seen to show how incompetent America is in general, I don't know what it.

bigger0gamer : unfortunately in the south this is still current. The flag is irrelevant and lost its meaning long ago ;people are just getting offended for the sake of being offended

Anything the media can use to gain viewers by calling out some idea of racism that they cooked up in their own minds, right? If people would check their facts for themselves, America would be in far less of a mess these days. I wish people would quit believing every lie regurgitated by the media. Sorry, but look at statistics:

Studies proved police were SIXTY FIVE TIMES LESS LIKELY to shoot an unarmed black man than an unarmed white man, but those numbers never surfaced on popular media or (heaven forbid) television news. People still say cops are racist and pick on black people because the media reports it when it does happen.

Proof? Recently a story made it on the news because it showed a police officer harassing a driver because he was a foreigner. A few weeks later a post showed up on a family member's Facebook page about a white police officer finding and caring for a black toddler until his parents were found. Guess what story never saw the light of day on the news? It wasn't scandalous enough, and it showed a non-racist side of humanity.

But can you blame them? Say "Photos surfaced of a man who shot up a church, flying the rebel flag" and maybe a hundred people will watch.
Say "photos surfaced of a white man who shot several black people, flying a rebel flag" and MILLIONS will tune in. Controversy: it's where the media's money comes from, and they know it.

And for the record, I am as opposed to racism as anyone. My best friend for years was black. The only girl I ever asked to marry me was black. And hey, some of the best people I've had the pleasure of meeting were black, Hispanic, Asian, or some other non-white race/nationality. All I'm saying is that we need to quit being so childish and making up lies to sensationalize things or support our cause.

Grow up, America. Grow up.

Eirinn : Exactly you are 100% right; the "cops are racist" thing is so stupid. Of course there are crooked cops but not all of em are crooked and i get tired of hearing "If you black and call the cops that someone is breaking into your house they will shoot you and the intruder you cant call the cops for anything if you black" (i heard that from a youtube video) and others say crap similar to it. Please can the news have more than just "Black guy shot by white cop" its near constant in my twitter feed on news sources i use to follow.

TristanTehGamer1 : I don't know on how much I have to agree with you, I feel like a lot of people are so offended on everything at a point that you can't even do anything without someone saying that they are offended. We both live in the same state, so, we know on how this whole Southern mess is.

There is a huge differences between a KKK member and someone supporting the south, and flying the Confederate flag doesn't mean that everyone that flag is a KKK member. How I put it, if they ban the Confederate flag, I think they should also ban the Black Panther flag as well, it's all fair to everyone.

If you look at it, look at how many White people are killed by African Americans (more than you realize) and they have a problem that a white person shoots up a black church. If an African American person shoots up a white church, the media won't even care about it and ignore the whole thing.

I hate to say, it's getting to a point that the White people are being treated like a minority and the African Americans and Foreigners are acting like they are the majority and want special treatment.

I am a guy that is against racism, but how I view it, the African Americans and the Foreigners are the ones that are being racists, not the white people, but I am not pointing fingers though. This is why the United States is falling apart, because everyone is offended with everything at a point that no one can do anything anymore, just like Eirinn said, people needs to grow up and deal with it

It seems we have gotten offended at everything. Christians in schools have been asked to stop praying because it offends non Christians. Some have even taken the civil war out of history. Some schools are skipping the civil war and reconstruction and going into the Spainish American war so it won't be offensive. Confederate memorials have been removed again not to offend anybody. Networks have even banned shows with the rebel flag in them.I reconigize the insenstivity of some of it but to get political correctness is bad. I fear we are not going to be able to eat bacon in public anymore might offend those that do not eat pork. Might be told not to pray in public cause its offensive. I never ever thought I would see this in America

Now I'm probably going to make people mad. But why is praying offensive. But yet song lyrics that talk about killing people, raping people and have vulger language not pointed out or called out. If the PC crowd is going to do it for onething need to do it for all

IgorBird122 : exactly i 100% agree, i just wonder why when a black guy shoots up a white church we dont care; last month or so when that black guy shot those cops who may have been white, we heard almost nothing about it. When you point this out you are considered delusional or racist. Idk why others want special treatment and feel the need to be offended all the time but its pretty pathetic and people need to grow up. Its 2015 and its sad racism still exists

TristanTehGamer1 : True, that white officer that got shot by an African American while he was filling his cop car at a gas station, that was only in the media for what 2-3 days, but the whole issue in Ferguson, that is still going on to today and that was because a white cop killed an unarmed African American person, the media don't make sense, that is why I never pay attention to the news anymore (maybe watch some local news here and there).

Everyone needs to learn to get along, and just deal with everything, they need to be thankful they live in a country like the United States and not in a country like North Korea because if they try doing something like that over there, they all would of been easily killed and the media has to pretend that didn't exist.

Personally the whole "Rebel flags are racist!!!" craze sure spurred a lot of people to display them left and right. Now in the south you'd assume that would be the optimal place to do such a thing, NOPE. All over southern Ohio people have full confederate flags flapping away, bolted into the bed of a truck. Honestly it just caused more problems than it solved, as with most political things or things they want to make political.

I don't get what makes the Confederate Flag so special that it needs to be banned. What is it that makes it ban-worthy? Clearly, it's not racism, otherwise the Black Panther flag would be banned. It's also not extremism or anything like that, or the ISIS flag would be banned. So why does it deserve special attention?

Contrary to popular belief, the Civil War and slavery were NOT just about racism, and it wasn't just the South that was racist. Now, if it were being banned for being seen as a secessionist symbol, that would almost make sense. But no, they're pulling the racism card in a situation where it's not on-topic at all and makes no sense. I don't get it.

Really the whole thing got made too much of a big deal because it's easier to whine about a flag than say, whine about how unfairly the lower class is treated compared to the middle and upper class. So many serious things that need to be addressed and a flag is more important, people from up north talking about this "Southern Pride" stuff like it makes sense. All in all the whole flag debate turned a bunch of people into sheep that they can herd around and make them feel safe from the big baddie known as reality. Sorry if my post doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I'm like half awake.

Even if your opinion is "wrong" you still have the right to say it. It works the other way too. You also have the right to make fun of it and condemn it.

It is true,we have gotten so hypersensitive it is unreal. People take everything the wrong way and make a flag a symbol of everything that is wrong. Now some flags deserve that fate like the Nazi symbol. But the Confederate flag was a symbol of their beliefs and what they wanted. It is not a sign of slavery,it is not a sign of hatred,it is a symbol of a belief.

Just like the crowds marching in Chicago asking for the resignation of the mayor and the district attorney. If they get that,how does that solve anything? Does it mean that people will stop making bad decisions? No. Does it mean everything will go back to normal? No. Does it mean people will get along? No. Some people do this for TV time and get out of work or school. I am glad they are being peaceful about it,but have they considered who they are hurting? They are hurting people's jobs when they demonstrate and block access.

It is like when I used to work for a pizza place years ago. Whenever the police decided to set up a sobriety or seat belt checkpoint,sure they got some people,but we got f--ked out of a night's opportunity to make money. Because people did not want to deal with the checkpoints and would go out of their way to avoid them.
