So....anyway care to defend Amazon.com and it's support for murderous commies?
The confederacy is just another word for traitor.
Companies can behave however they want. I think it's silly not to sell the Confederate Flag or products that utilize it but it isn't my business. My only concern is keeping that flag off of public property.
Sad thing is we are not blaming our horribly pathetic mental health system for these mass shootings, but a flag. That is very sad.
This is a disingenuous comment.
Without the societal acceptance of racism and the atmosphere of privilege and entitlement which the flag embodies, the terrorist Roof would have just shot himself for being a loser. The flag gave him a symbol to rally around.

Yes, people don't just latch onto things to rationalize their thoughts. Something like that would never happen. Nope.
I think you are kind of agreeing with me...
Your sarcasm detector is broken.
Yes. Because right now that's what the market wants.
One difference is obvious: Lenin and Stalin were leaders of a country. Guevara was a revolutionary considered by many to be a hero. Don't know if he was also an official.
So? They still commited horrendous crimes. Why should they be idolized?Second difference: The latter are people. The former is a symbol.

Are you saying that the use of the Confederate BF requires one to be "mentally ill"?Does the fact that he had to be mentally ill cross your mind at all?

I read this claim from lots of right wingers, trying to divert the discussion of racism to "mental illness", the problems with this are numerous, above all, this armchair diagnosis has no basis in facts. It is an avoidance of fact, the fact is he indulged in racist rants, surrounded himself in racist paraphernalia, espoused racist rhetoric as he was killing his Black victims.I never said that. I said its obvious that the guy was off his rocker. I don't care if he used any flag out there, he was obviously not all there upstairs. That much should be obvious.
So.... then you have documentation proving that he was turned down for requested mental health assistance at some relevant point before the shooting????
SO was American to the English if you want to go there.
But he wasn't mentally ill if you stop and look at it.
It is interesting that people on the Right are trying to claim that Dylann was obviously insane or on drugs. But the manifesto did not really seem like the rant of an insane man. The motivation of his attack was clear - he felt his people were under attack and he had an obligation to strike back.
