My son went into a convenience store the other day wearing a cap with a Tennessee state flag on the front of it, and the black clerk told him it was racist and to take it off or leave the store.

I think its the north that wants to keep fighting the Civil War. They aren't content with just winning.

Because the store clerk just had to be a "Yankee"? Really, it sounds like that's an internal Southern matter. Some Southerners (mostly African-American) aren't so crazy about the Confederate flag (or anything that looks like it to them), so don't saddle Northerners with that.

And how do you come to the conclusion that "its the north that wants to keep fighting the Civil War." If enough people start walking around with Mexican or German or Japanese or Soviet flags on their clothing, the rest of us are going to wonder what's going on and what's wrong with you. If you're the one's wearing those symbols on your clothing, you're the one's who can't put the past behind you.

I see that x is another defender of PC, selective freedom of speech.

Did I say the clerk was a Yankee? Quit assuming things.

“If enough people start walking around with Mexican or German or Japanese or Soviet flags on their clothing, the rest of us are going to wonder what’s going on and what’s wrong with you.”

It can hardly be the problem of the wearer that there are idiots who can’t differentiate between symbols from other countries and symbols of American history.

And who exactly is “the rest of us?” The enlightened ones like you?
