If we are going to ban the Confederate Flag as a symbol of slavery, then to be consistent, we have to ban the Stars and Stripes too.
It flew over slavery and slave transporting ships for much, much longer than any flag of the Confederacy. If the logic is that the flag flew over slave-owning lands, then the Stars and Stripes has to go, as well.
Heck, even the Ku Klux Klan flew the Stars and Stripes in their rallies...
If we go down that road, we will continue to be lopsided in our views, unaware of our own history.
So What's next? Are they going to take down the Flag of the United States too?
