Calling it a "contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism," eBay said Tuesday that it will ban the sale of Confederate flags and similarly themed merchandise.

"This decision is consistent with our long-standing policy that prohibits items that promote or glorify hatred, violence and racial intolerance," said eBay spokeswoman Johnna Hoff.

The e-commerce company is the latest to prohibit the sale of Confederate merchandise following Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Sears Holdings Corp.

I suspect someone like “Rev.” Jacksonnnnnnn is involved with help from the MSM. A few protesters don’t have that much influence over these huge companies.

To fly a flag — any flag — is the ultimate exercise of freedom of political speech.

Take that away, and we in America have nothing left that makes us American.

The tyranny of the minority.

Since eBay cares nothing for “values”, beyond which direction the PC wind is blowing at any given time, I can only imagine the glee they are feeling, at all those final value fees and PayPal cuts.

Amazon also is removing Confederate books. My nephew bought this book below from amazon. The book is a great read by a wonderful American. He happens to be black.

The link is now dead.

Why I Wave the Confederate Flag, Written by a Black Man ... www.amazon.com › ... › Philosophy › Political Amazon.com, Inc. Why I Wave the Confederate Flag, Written by a Black Man: The End of Niggerism and the Welfare State [Anthony Hervey] on Amazon.com.

Below is the link that worked yesterday

Someone asked how to contact Amazon to complain.Thanks for the link to Amazon. I wrote them and gave them a piece of my mind. I asked them why they removed a book written by a Black man.

Most on the left would not have a problem with the government moving ahead with a final solution for Conservatives.

The left is pure evil.

I will bet everything that they already *have* a Final Solution for us.

This is no doubt just one of the sneaky baby steps to the big finale.

If we’re going to argue for the right to fly a flag, at least it shouldn’t have a doggy in the middle.

I have a bunch of plain ones.

I happen to *like* that one for obvious personal reasons.

Sadly, due to PC tyranny, it, too, will be part of the purge.

So I bought two of them.

Is that okay with you?

I can always cancel my order.

There’s no evidence he’s related to Odinga. Let’s “keep it real” here!

I fly two flags: Gadsden and the Stars and Stripes.

I don’t fly the Confederate flag because I’m a Northerner and I don’t think people should fly a flag of a war’s loser. That’s my opinion though, people have that right.

That is the sanitized movie version. The book is a little different.
