In a word? Yes. Period.

The evil ******** at Walmart would not make a confederate flag cake for a customer...but they would make an ISIS flag cake for him.

Giant Confederate battle flag visible from I-75 in spotlight again
TAMPA — Tampa’s mayor says it’s time for the huge Confederate battle flag flying near a heavily traveled Hillsborough intersection to go.
But the only way the flag will come down is in a hurricane, says the leader of a local Confederate history group that maintains the flag and flagpole.
Even then, the world’s largest battle flag would rise again, said David McAllister, commander of the Judah P. Benjamin Camp, the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
“We all sympathize with the poor victims of Charleston, but the flag did not cause that to happen,” McAllister said Monday. “That was a horrible crime done by a mentally ill criminal responsible for his own actions, and people calling for gun and flag limitations in response are standing against the American Constitution. The flag shouldn’t remind people of a bad thing, but remind them that bad times were overcome.”

Guess we're not going to get any visual aid to support this...Yes. Yes I do.
Oh don't worry, the Stars and Bars will be next...the Left hates that one even more
Farrakhan: I Don’t Get Debate Over Confederate Flag, ‘We Need to Put the American Flag Down’
The racist leader of the Nation of Islam told a largely black audience in Washington, D.C. that "we need to put the American flag down" because "we've caught as much hell under that as the Confederate flag."

This may just cause another Civil War...
I'm in the Asheville, NC area for a long weekend. The confederate flag is all over around here. Cars and trucks are flying it proudly. At dinner tonight I saw mini redneck parade of 4 pick ups and a Lumina flying full size flags and cruising the downtown strip in Hendersonville, very slowly, just begging for someone to screw with them.
Luminas ran forever.........odd for a GM product.
Well the flag came down in SC. Glad their racial issues are officially solved.
It only takes one step to get closer to a solution...
So you really think that taking the flag down has helped racism?
I would venture to guess it has probably made it worse. That flag doesn't stand for slavery any more than Muslims stand for Christianity. I have no dog in this fight. That flag doesn't make me feel more one way or another.
Removing that flag is symbolic at best. Throwing people a bone and nothing more. Seeing it as a step toward a solution is laughable. They can remove all the flags and statues they want. It will not change our history, ugly as it sometimes was. And removing that flag will not change the heart of a racist. Pretty sure that flag didn't turn anyone into a racist, just like it didn't go into a church and kill nine good people.
poor nikki
i suspect she will be voted out - rednecks are funny that way.
