Ontopic Thoughts on the new push to basically ban the Confederate Flag

[thintoast]

While we are at it lets remove everything relating to our founding fathers since they owned slaves. We can removed Washington from the dollar bill and replace him with Jay-Z. Would that be enough to fix it?

If it's singles we're changing, we should replace Washington with Tiger Woods. That way when you're at a strip joint, you can fling your woods at the ladies and not get in trouble for doing so.

If you really want to fuck with the south, invade Mexico and Venezuela. Then the 'south' will become the 'mid'.

We already have half of their people living in the south already.

I do know they are changing the $10 bill and removing Hamilton and putting a woman on it.

If we get rid of any symbols of our past them we can pretend like it never happened and then black people won't be able to claim they've ever been discriminated against based in the color of their skin.

Martin Luther king is a reminder of race relations too, we need to get rid of all that stuff too. Don't want to remember any history relating to a negative past.

They aren't removing Hamilton

They aren't removing Hamilton

They originally said he was going to be subdued on the bill with the primary being the woman they selected but the Fed has since said he will be completely removed.

I have to say I think some of this is now getting stupid. Warner Brothers refusing to sell the General Lee now? Are they going to pull the movie too? How about Gone With the Wind?

My facebook feed is killing me too. Some of the people crying for the flag to be banned are the same people who defend the right to desecrate the American flag claiming freedom of speech. Hypocritical in my opinion.

For the sake of conversation why is it called BS when people try to say I have the flag because it's part of my heritage etc. The response is no that flag represents hate, violence, etc. But doesn't some segments of Hip Hop music do the exact same thing by representing hate, violence, etc? Why is it acceptable for one but not the other? Go and discuss.

Can't we have a turbo gravy? CAN'T WE!????

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

so are they gonna blur out the roof of the General Lee on the blu ray edition of dukes of hazzard?

 

[Amstel]

And not call it the General Lee. I heard they'll call it the MLKeeeng! And James Earl Jones will do the voiceover so everything matches.

Just watching the news and they said a Disney source said they are looking into getting rid of the Dixieland area at the theme parks due to pressure of the southern themed areas and attractions.

 

[Amstel]

I think everyone needs a tiny bit of patience and a little less 'knee jerk' reaction.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

The world needs to quit being so goddamn butthurt about everything

 

[Floptical]

Agreed I find it hard to believe Disney would make that costly of a choice but who knows.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Im deeply offended by women that refuse to show me their boobs
We need to find a way to get some political traction on this

 

[kiwi]

I'm getting the impression it's an easy bandwagon to jump on for anyone wanting brownie points and to be in the press. "Look how good of a politician, company, person I am cause I banned everything."
