    Um, except one is an (inaccurate) symbol of oppression and hatred and the other represents freedom and expression…

      Well, it was one of the battle flags, so it still is a symbol of oppression and hatred, with an added bit of violence thrown in.

        It wasn’t even a battle flag, just a portion of one. That’s what I meant by ‘inaccurate’, but I don’t want to get into the nuances because that could detect from the point.

        Just to be clear, the point is: fuck racists and bigots. Their bullshit only detracts from civilization.
