Does anyone else find it interesting that a Rebel Flag (a common symbol in the southern states where Keplers and Mish live) is considered offensive enough to ban, but gay flags aren't? Not saying there's anything wrong with users having gay flags, just saying that a Rebel flag really isn't very different. Well, it's quite simple. A flag used by the KKK is a symbol of oppression (in this case racism and terrorism). Symbols of oppression are offensive and unacceptable. The pride flags, on the contrary, are symbols of solidarity for oppressed people. There is no comparison. Hey, the KKK has used the USA flag multiple times. I issue a formal request that all American flags are banned, as they're just as racist as the Confederate flag. I highly doubt when anyone sees the American flag they think of the KKK, but quite a lot of people associate the confederate flag with racism and terrorism.
