Causality is the relationship between cause and effect.
This thing (cause) made this happen (effect).
Now, I am not a Southerner. I have no vested history with the ConfederateFlag/Battle Flag of The Northern Virginia Army.
What I find galling about this issue is the deliberate ignorance of Causality by too many.
Did Dylan dispshirt kill nine Americans of African descent (effect) as a reaction to the flag (cause)?
Or, did Dylan dispshirt kill nine Americans of African descent (effect) so he could be famous (cause)?
It is disingenuous in the extreme, and intellectually lazy, to assert that a flag caused these murders.
If the liberals/Democrats want to stop this from happening again, then they must start by being honest.
There are people in this country who make money by playing the race card, and the American Press keeps this wound open to sell newspapers.
I am sickened by these murders, but I am also sickened by the Democrat/American Press attempt to use these murders for profit.
SQUIRREL!
The news media used a single act by a single individual to take some of all of our rights. They make this the top news.
Yes these mass shooters do it for the media fame . the media eggs these on. still they are very rare and less than 50 people die of mass shootings per year. compare to 40,000 Americans dying yearly in car accidents. The media makes sure that any mass shooting becomes world wide top news for months.
We all fall for this when we don’t point out what the media is doing here and instead talk about it in other terms.
The Swastika is still available. The Hammer & Sickle too.
The flags of ISIS, Iran, The USSR, China and North Korea are sold by many of the retailers now banning the Stars and Bars. Will they bar those too?
Banning the flag is easier than convincing the police to stop killing black people.
You get an “F”.
Try to stay on topic.
Sometimes it’s OK to get good and mad.
I think these actions by the Democrats/American Press are easily shown to be foolish and intentionally misleading. I like to call the skunks out for what they are.
