If they comply then all the SEC states could be forced to change their current flags. The current flags were created when the Southern states left the Union and joined the Confederacy.
Nah. Texas flag predates the confederacy.
On a related note, the Texas flag beats the shite out of the confederate flag.

Dude no.
For decades and decades no one cared about a state flag or statues. Not until now does anyone think of it. It will do nothing for race relations because it has nothing to do with race relations. These clowns are acting like the Civil War and segregation is still going on.

Funny they didn’t cross the Rubicon and ask Ole Miss to change too and get rid of the Rebel name.

You asked for proof, you got it, then moved the goalposts, what a surprise.

They’ve destroyed defaced and scheduled to remove Lincoln in multiple places, they’ve destroyed Jefferson, they’ve added Washington to the list, they’ve even defaced Mahatma Gandhi and Robert the Bruce monuments. But I’m exaggerating? Go play stupid.

What about calls to destroy/remove the Lincoln statue that was purchased with the money of freed slaves?

Yes, one statue was stupidly defaced (not "destroyed"). This is not happening "across the country". Why must you exaggerate?

Good. frick that flag.
Better complain until Six Flags changes their name to "Five" Flags. Don't want anyone getting their feelings hurt with history.
You're only giving power to the cancel culture crowd. They will never voluntarily give up power once you give it to them and never stop looking for the next thing to destroy. Common sense should tell you where that leads. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

I'm done with sports. Also Haven't owned one since I was a teen, but my confederate flag shipped yesterday.

The problem is that that ship has sailed. When the states didn't remove these things as they should have before all of this, now they are in a position of having to remove them over threats and demands. They pretty much can't not remove them, as there is no good reason not to and every reason to do so.
So if you won't do the right thing voluntarily, eventually you are forced to do the right thing.
Don't whine at that point about being forced to do the right thing. You had your chance.
Exactly like the segregation enforcement that the flags were flown to protest in the first place. Eventually you are going to be forced to.

So it’s your opinion that:
The states should have removed the Andrew Jackson monuments, renamed all of their streets for black people only, defunded their police departments, ensured racial hiring quotas, forced reparations on people who had nothing to do with slavery, canceled television shows featuring police, enforced racial sensitivity training in schools, etc...
This is not about removing a few remaining confederate monuments. We are in a communist culture war aimed at blinding society as the evil Marxists take power and the crush civilization to their own ends.
Wake up.

I have a problem with authority. I have a problem with the cancel culture. It represents southern heritage and pride to me. I'm gonna hang it on the house in my own protest.

This is what I’m worried about.
The rampant ignorance and violence and extremism in the BLM and ANTIFA movements is going to cause an equal and opposite reaction in otherwise intelligent people.
After all, it was the rise of communism and globalism that spawned the NAZIs

Yeah, so when are they gonna ban that rap music that promotes the ghetto culture that ruins more black lives than anything???

Yeah, I’m about done with it. This pretty much seals it for me. This and the whole getting rid of the gator bait thing because it’s racist (WTF???) pretty much shows me without any doubt that college football is as lost as the rest of them. I’m pretty much done with sports in general. They can choke on every bit of it.
