If they keep banning these “symbols of racism”, sooner or later there will be nothing to point to but themselves when these things occur.
Following that theme, if we storm into ISIS country and remove all their black ISIS flags, there will be no more violence in the Middle East.
Taking away the freedom of expression of beliefs is not going to change those beliefs, in many cases it will further inferior ate them.
This reactionary call to ban the flag is just the left taking advantage of the opening of a portal created by a nut job, stewed on drugs, who decided to shoot some people. He didn’t just stroll by the Capitol building one day, see the flag, and say, “oh, I think I’ll become a racist today and shoot up a black church!”.
Things that individuals do, are solely the decision of that individual.
Don’t kid yourself, what they want to ban is the American flag, the Stars and Stripes. Convincing people to ban the Confederate Flag is just the route they are taking. Once they get the Confederate Flag banned, they will then use the same arguments to get the American Flag banned. After that, they will go after the Star Spangled banner. They want to ban every iota of the Heritage of the United States of America.
