From a bikini to a bottle opener to a belt buckle, the Confederate flag shows up on all sorts of merchandise online.
On Tuesday afternoon, online marketplace eBay said it would ban the sale of the flags and "many items containing this image,"Johanna Hoof, an eBay spokeswoman, told USA TODAY Network. Just hours after eBay’s announcement, an Amazon official, who was not authorized to comment publicly, confirmed that Amazon is pulling down Confederate flag merchandise.
Only haters could hate this, better get your prebans now.
And can somebody please go arrest Kanye for his hate crime.
(Best fake Scottish Accent) “They can take our rights and our Flags, but they’ll never take our women’s bikinis!” (End fake Scottish Accent).
Between stuff like this, and The Dukes of Hazard being pulled, this has surpassed ridiculous. It makes gun stores pulling ARs after Sandy Hook look sane.
Reminds me of Nazi Germany, only left and not right wing banning and burning. Being a Northerner, who lived in Charleston for many years, I think I’m going to start buying up Confederate merchandise just to piss them off.
God bless or PC culture. Such greatness, such… Horseshit.
Note to self:
-Bruce is a Caitlyn now
-pointing guns at cops is ok if I am in the multi cultural category
-confederate flag bad
WTF… Oh just wait. Someday were gonna be like “I miss the simpler times, like when gas was only $3, Bruce wasn’t a dude anymore, and confederate flags weren’t ok anymore…ah, them was the days son…”
Might as well ban “Daisy Dukes” while they’re at it…after all they came from the now forbidden show Dukes of Hazard with the Confederate Flag painted on the General Lee… Geeze! Dare I ask what’s next!?!
You knew the current owner of the original General Lee is painting over the rebel flag on the roof and replacing it with a US flag didn’t you?
This is all so bizarre to me, it’s amazing how easy it is to declare something a “symbol of hate” and have it enforced and supported. From time to time I wear a shirt with a Buddhist swastika. It’s yellow on black with chinese characters under it so it doesn’t immediately invoke the nazi symbol. I’ve had some looks, even a few questions from elderly people most of whom I presume to be jewish and who are content with the explanation, but as it stands right now, I think wearing a rebel flag patch is being declared the equivalent of wearing a NSDAP armband.
I’m not especially sympathetic to the redneck south, generally they drive me crazy with their stupid ass oversize pickup tricks, shitty music and willingness to rev anything with an engine in their driveway for up to 4 hours. But in places where those stupid trucks with their rebel flag plates and paint schemes are predominant, I’ve never seen anyone hassle anyone for being black and I’ve seen more than a few instances of people coming to the defense of black people attending the “chili cookoff” or whatever is going on when it looked like somebody was being hassled.
And I’ve only been to South Carolina a few times, to me I think I could best describe most of the people I met as “the most polite people I’ve ever encountered” and that is regardless of race. Somehow I must have missed all of the idiots when I was there.
Lol! I wish! It’s a model I waited in line for hours at a World Of Wheels car show in Chicago for “Bo’s” autograph. I’ve always wanted to build a replica though!
Guess I never took that from the show, was more jumping cars, and arrows tipped with explosives to me. I do remember some of the “bad guys” were often black, but what shows didn’t? The fags… Definitely don’t remember any of that.
I gotcha
