You're right, I did not know Mississippi adopted that as their state flag in 2001.

Lord have mercy.

Have you seen Gerogia's state flag?

 

look familiar?

I am in the US Army and I am not aware of any Unit that uses the Confederate flag. EVERY service member of ALL branches of the United States Military wears the AMERICAN flag on their right shoulder in uniform. 

 

Oh hey fellow soldier.

 

Also I wouldn't say all branches have a flag patch on the right side of their shoulder sleeve, beside the US Army.

Apple only removed it so that the whiny SJWs would continue buying Apple's crappy products.

I think you may have misinterpreted my response.

I agreed with you - slavery wouldn't have ended without the Abolitionist's efforts and without the Union forcing the South to abandon slavery. The reason why I think this is because as soon as the slaves were free, the U.S. found other ethnicities to work for dirt the second the ink dried on the Emancipation Proclamation. America has always been addicted to cheap labor of immigrants and others - slavery would have continued into today possibly (since there is a lesser nature of de facto slavery with undocumented illegal workers).

 

All the while complaining about how the cheap labor is ruining the economy and keeping "real Americans" out of jobs.

Indeed. 

 

Reading Benjamin Franklin's comments about the vile German illegal immigrants would make you think Franklin hates Hispanics if read outside of historical context. 

 

Maybe that's the reason for the American Dream. Each generation of citizen can do better than their parents simply because there is a new crop of foreigners waiting to be shoved at the bottom of the totem poll to replace the last (whether they want to or not). A depressing concept to consider.

Eh. Only Southerners forgot history and how unloyal, gutless and ignorant they were to the one group of people who actually helped them out after they lost the Civil War.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Apple reinstated a number of (at least, I don't know how many games they took down) games to the app store, because I'm guessing they realized how stupid their little brand of censorship was.

History is written by the victor, the north was just as deplorable as the south was.

Oh agreed. but i'm talking more about apple and the SJWs who want "Potentialy triggering history to not be taught."

Go North side.

 

As my profile pic shows, I am not impartial in this matter.

[Sully13]

pfft North and south no one even bothers with south east these days.

So then technically isn't Apple exercising their freedom of "expression" by choosing not to sell games with the Confederate Flag?

 

I mean, how does Apple or some other retailer choosing not to sell the flag hurt you in any way?

 

Your argument goes both ways, not just one way. 

How do some of you not understand the differences between Wal-Mart choosing not to sell a flag and Apple choosing to censor games that have a flag in it? If Wal-Mart doesn't want to stock a particular item anymore, so be it. It might be stupid but it's not censorship.

 

However, when Apple starts removing games from their store just because said games have a certain image that they're afraid will offend someone, and then turns around and tells the developers of those games that they must censor their own games in order to be allowed back onto their store, that's blatant censorship.

 

Apple is exercising it's rights as a company to censor whatever is on their store because they have the right to do so. But they're not exercising freedom of expression, there is no thought out reason behind this; it's only a knee jerk reaction (and a dumb one at that) to the shooting in South Carolina.

"In an age of insanity look to the madman to show the way."

 

Somebody find me a criminal who has said "That Confederate flag made me do it!" after being arrested.

On a side note: You ever think the anti-SJW's make just as big a deal of things as the SJWs?

[The Devlish Redhead]

This hysteria over a flag.....

 

What about TV shows? Dukes Of Hazard anyone?

 

They'd have to ban that too for the car the General Lee

[The Devlish Redhead]

It's more the straw that broke the camel's back than the sole cause for this push to get rid of the obviously racist symbol.

Whether Apple was wise in the way they went about bowing to outside pressure or making a statement or preserving their brand image, however you want to look at it-- probably not wise when it comes to historical context games, but I don't really care because it's their business, the flag is still racist trash, lol at its supporters getting upset, and lol at people playing shitty mobile games that aren't stick golf or something.

 

The flag is a symbol of racist trash people too. But you can't just get rid of the flag altogether .. As I said what happens to all the places where it has been used? media, books etc?
