Quickly responding to the Confederate Flag dustup that was caused by accused mass-murder Dylan Root's affinity for the banner, companies have swiftly responded, removing offensive merchandise and anything that might link them to the American Civil War. Walmart, Amazon, Sears, eBay stopped selling Confederate flag merchandise.
Apple corporation removed all Civil War themed games from it's "App" store. Sensing that the time was right, the History Channel has announced that it is pulling itself from the cable lineup because they produced a series called "Civil War: A Nation Divided." Honda has announced a recall of all Civics, because of the similarity in name to Civil, which some claim reminds them of the Civil War.
Two school textbook companies, Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt and Scholastic, have come forward to announce that all chapters related to the American Civil War will be removed from elementary and college texts.
A major dictionary publisher, Merriam-Webster, has ordered a recall of all dictionaries it has published to remove the words "confederate", "civil", "war" and "south" since these words may offend some. It will no longer include these offensive words in future editions, a spokesthing confirmed.
CVS has announced that it will be changing its name, because the letters C, V, and S are found in the phrase "Civil War Southerners". "Better we err on the side of caution, then offend ONE PERSON," CVS's spokesthing stated.
In Jackson, Florida (a city that will soon be renamed) all Civil Litigation shall be named Non-Criminal Litigation, so as to avoid the word 'Civil'. This move is likely to be mimicked throughout the country, one legal analyst noted.
The American Society of Librarians has recommended that the letters C, V, L, F, D, W, E, A, S, T, and R be stricken from the alphabet, since they can be assembled into deadly assault phrases such as "Confederate" or "Civil War" or "Southern". When asked what we could use in their stead, the spokesthing for the Society remarked, "Russia has used Cyrillic letters to great effect for hundreds of years, and they never had a racist southern confederacy."
President Obama appeared at a press conference today, and, noting the recent corporate moves, stated "I want to thank the companies who have acted, for doing the right thing today. However, you are still not off the hook. We will be looking to you to do a lot more.... reparations and outright discrimination against whites is something we will be encouraging."
Hide your history books...They may planning a book burning!
Spellcheck, hahahha..!!
Sorry!
Sign me up!
Thank you!
Is it just me or did this flag thing seem to roll out as if coordinated in advance and waiting for a catalyst?
Oh, c’mon. Apple didn’t pull ALLl their Civil War game apps.
Only the ones that allowed someone to play the Confederate side. And those that weren’t designed to make sure that the Confederates always lose. And those that don’t have a cheat code where entering the right self admission of bigotry, racism and white priv unlocks the ability to use thermonuclear weapons, incinerate all the Confederates and render the Confederate states uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years,
Eighteen months to go folks, and you will not recognize your country at all. Just eighteen months.
Already the law of the land. It's called "Affirmative Action."
But you can still load up on Che Guevara gear on amazon and ebay and other retailers. This merciless mass murderer is the bomb in all Liberal circles.
Quite the optimist, aren't you?
I give it 6.
“Anybody here own a KRISS? trying to decide between the carbine and pistol.”
It’s $1900. Buy a pistol and a carbine.
This seemed more like a hysteria, an unplanned Salem MA moment.
It’s not just you.
What they weren’t expecting, and hadn’t planned for, was Nikki Haley and Republicans leading the charge on the specific issue of removing the flag from the grounds of the state Capitol.
Doing that cooked off a Progressive freakout and frenzied attempts to try to get around the flank that Haley and the GOP had established.
This is definitely “sometimes disturbing”.
Would you please put me on your ping list?
That takes care of the historical aspect of this inherent evil in our society’s DNA. But there is still the matter of his name. Roof. We must ban roofs. And roofing companies and roofing materials. In order to be sensitive to the pain of hundreds of years of slavery Dylann is a part of all roofs from all buildings must be removed.
Then we can deal with storms. Banning them will be more difficult.
Oh Shoot! I thought he was talking about a South East Asian curved knife!

Not just you. It’s too far flung and WAY too fast, like there was a ‘’memo’’ or something. It’s identical to the ammo shortage. I’d bet the taxpayers picked up the tab to compensate these companies, too. Times are not that good.
“Eighteen months to go folks, and you will not recognize your country at all. Just eighteen months.”
” I give it 6. “
I agree with the 6 months. It’s open season on American citizens now.
