After days of dancing around the matter, a score of South Carolina legislators (including the governor and both of its senators) stood united to say the Confederate flag should be removed from the state capitol.
The controversy over the flag renewed after pictures were uncovered of the Charleston church shooter having a Confederate flag license plate. People have argued the kind of hate the flag represents has no place in modern America.
Well, now Walmart is taking action too. According to CNN, the retail giant will no longer sell any merchandise with Confederate flags on them.
A spokesperson explained, “We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer. We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment — whether in our stores or on our web site.”

They will replace the items with Bruce ‘Trans’ Jennered merchandise: men’s bras and panties, etc.

Sadly, men who would wear such merchandise are running many main street businesses now.

Well, now where am I going to get a Confederate-themed kiddie pool or a neo-Confederate Urinating Calvin sticker for my truck? </s>

I think Mattel should come out with a Bruce doll with detachable private parts, dresses and a removable adams apple.

Walmart Will Stop Selling Confederate Flag Merchandise They will probably replace them with a new line of Yellow Stars that you can sew onto your clothing.

This flag is more a symbol of racism and oppression of blacks than the Confederate battle flag.
