Got to have the flag to destroy it.

“Let us honor their lives by eradicating racism & removing the symbols & words that feed it.”

So will apples new radio app NOT play ANY rap music, since they say the n word and that is RACIST?

I Bet that iTunes will still sell rap music, will they censor anything that bashes white people?

Bet they won’t

Totally ridiculous. Are they going to pretend the Civil War never happened? Well, maybe...Obama did. He avoided going to just about any of the commemorative activities, because I guess he didn’t want to call attention to the fact that hundreds of thousands of Americans died fighting to end slavery since it doesn’t go with his narrative of evil America.

I was in favor of taking the battle flag down in South Carolina because, for one thing, it had already been a source of controversy and had already been taken down from the statehouse a few years earlier. And since the killer was clearly associated with South Carolina and seemed to see the battle flag as a symbol of his crazy obsessions, it was pretty hard to defend it in that situation.

But the rest of this stuff is craziness.

I pulled Itunes off of my computer a long time ago. I want nothing to do with Apple or it’s overpriced stuff.

"My thoughts are with the victim's families in SC. Let us honor their lives by eradicating racism & removing the symbols & words that feed it."

A phenomenally stupid - and revealing - statement!

And just how does Mr. Cook propose that the "words" be removed from our language? By burning dictionaries? Or by prohibiting speech? And even if that was done - wouldn't new epithets and slurs then quickly arise to fill their places?

Mr. Cook probably won't be satisfied until he can control our thoughts, for that is, in fact, the only place where (alleged) racism and hate can reside.

Regards,

But amazon and ebay are still selling plenty of Che Guevara merchandise, though he was a merciless mass murderer. Being a Communist murderer is A-OK, apparently. Lousy hypocrites.

Oh, that’s just pathetic.

I look forward to enjoying the fireworks on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and viewing whatever a wrecking ball does to the Jefferson Memorial.

Should open a better view to the bay....

The gay mafia has been very powerful in Hollywood and Apple for a long time. So of course the hysterics over at Apple will join in the anti-Confederate hysteria.

Apple's Official statement on this:

"We have removed apps from the App Store that use the Confederate flag in offensive or mean-spirited ways, which is in violation of our guidelines. We are not removing apps that display the Confederate flag for educational or historical uses."
