The killings at the Charleston AME church were obviously the Confederate flag’s fault, along with the gun of course. Had nothing to do with a deranged human.

Ebay has people selling Confederate flags. A few back ordered until the 2nd week of July.

I guess there is freedom on both sides, people have the right buy and fly the Confederate Battle Flag and Ebay and etc. has the right not to sell Confederate Battle Flag. It's still sold here in Texas.

And that same freedom allows me not to ever purchase or fly the Confederate Battle Flag.

I guess the folks at Amazon don;t know their history either:

from: http://washingtonartillery.com/Def.htm

“The “Bonnie Blue Flag” (also known as the “Lone Star Flag”) is often linked to the Confederacy. However, the flag had its origins long before any southern state seceded from the Union. The first recorded use of this flag was in 1810 when it was used to represent the Republic of West Florida, a republic of English speaking inhabitants of southern Alabama, Mississippi, and portions of Louisiana east of the Mississippi River who rebelled against the reign of Spanish government and overthrew Spain’s provincial Governor de Lassus at Baton Rouge. The republic lasted barely three months, dissolved after the annexation of Louisiana’s portion of the disputed land to the United States territory.”

As far as I know, these guys have no plans to stop selling the flags of the Confederacy, nor any of their other historical flags for that matter:

Zanzibar a Muslim enclave of islands located off the coast of present day Tanzania, was where the rich and famous of this sorry trade hung out together.

This is the biography of one of their favorite chieftians with whom BO's Luo tribe had extensive business dealings.

Short version of this long story is that Islam tends to impoverish every civilization which it touches. And the chiefs of many tribes so impoverished were willing to sell whole villages into slavery to maintain their status and lifestyles.

So Ebay sold/auctioned them for 15 years but because a murderous brat in a Gold’s Gym tee-shirt waves it in a selfie, we now have to erase it from our collective memory. Is that it? I guess so.
