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.

KKK flags are racist.

The US flag has been used by the KKK.

The US flag is racist.

Obi himself said so. The color white has also been used by the KKK, your avvie has white you can't use it. Exactly, thank you for proving how crazy it is to ban something just because the KKK used it. I don't think they were banned because the KKK used. I think it was because it caused disruption in chat as well as goes against the policy as Obi stated.

The color white/american flag also promote things that are good like freedom and purity. I fail to see how a flag used by a group that was fighting for slavery and racism to promote anything good.
