Better snatch up all the Duke Boys stuff with the flag , they are not allowing any more sales with the flag,I thought we had freedom of speech , oh well so much for that,it might be worth something someday,it wont be the same with out the flag.
That flag means more than the slavery and racism, alot of people died for that flag

You do have freedom of speech, as long as you say what they tell you to say.

Every thing is branded as raciest when it suits those who are saying its raciest.

FFS this PC b.0llax is getting out of hand, ban Christmas ban Easter ban the national anthem ban what ever these PC twats feel will upset the ethnic or minorities of certain religious faiths, who most don't give a toss anyway. But what about the rest of us? We get no say and have to put up and shut up like good Citizens they want us to be, and most do because they are scared to admit what they really feel incase they are branded raciest. Its those pi55 ing do gooders that cause racism.
Ive got nothing against the colour of someone's skin or what religion they follow, but I do disagree with being told how ive got to live my life so as not to upset certain people, talk about living your life on egg shells. whats next?

TBH I can kind of understand removing it from the Capitol building.
The Dukes GL, Amazon and the rest are just trying to grab column inches, and looking bloody stupid for doing so.
It has historical significance and as such should be available for anyone who wishes to purchase. If you
don't like it don't buy it.
We should ban those pesky old WW2 planes next as some of them have that German Nazi stuff on.........They did a lot worse than the deep south.
Oh and then ban anything American. Look what they did to the Japs with two bombs.
Ban our national flag next........look what we went and invaded all those years ago. Killed millions and stole land left right and center.
Tell them to learn another language too, as we forced it on them and stole the native one.
Then the French.......Ban em!
They do Bananarama! all, so ban them for doing Bananarama! all!
First world problems!

I recon they have been wanting to get rid of it for years, and just waited until they have a good enough reason.

Similar kind of thing with the banning of the swastika tail marking on model aeroplane kits, the censoring of history to suit a political ideal is the ultimate form of fascism.

They need to sort the problems of today out, instead of worrying about the past. I guess kids will not be taught history in school anymore.
