BLM suggests criminalization of Confederate imagery

The article provides evidence of how unlikely it is for this to ever happen, but it is an example of our descent that has truly begun down the slippery slope with this issue. I'm also tired of seeing people say to just ignore them and not give them attention, and they will go away. No, they won't.

In the aftermath of violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, progressive activists nationwide have demanded, and in some cases illegally carried out, the tearing down and removal of statues and monuments to Confederate leaders and soldiers on public space. Now Black Lives Matter activists have gone even further — going so far as to call for a ban on all Confederate imagery — even in private possession. Inspired by Germany’s post-war laws banning any and all Nazi imagery, Black Lives Matter activists on Twitter called for a similar ban on Confederate imagery or memorabilia. “After WWII, Germany outlawed the Nazis, their symbols, salutes & their flags. All confederate flags & statue, & groups should be illegal,” tweeted the Black Lives Matter Chicago Twitter account, @BLMChi.

Similar rhetoric pointing a finger of wrong at any and all Confederate memorabilia came from at least one lawmaker. "Confederate memorabilia have no place in this country and especially not in the United States Capitol," said Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) in a statement to The Hill. The entire Congressional Black Caucus called on Wednesday for the removal of all Confederate-related statues in the nation's Capitol.

Evidently the 1st amendment doesnt matter. Kinda like Black lives to other black people.

There will be Hate Speech laws in our lifetimes, and younger generations will support it.
Book it.
Book it.

Why don't we make everything illegal?
That way no one can get their feelings hurt over anything
This crap is so stupid
People need to grow the f up

When has this tactic been deployed? I get more updates on BLM and radical left activists from the OT than any other source of news on the planet.

They are going too far and this will come crashing down on them if they do not watch out.

Thy will try to squeeze this in under the incitement loophole. They claim the n-word is just a dangerous as yelling "fire" in a movie theater.
Not saying they will be successful, but you'll see this idea in the mainstream conversation before long.

Is BLM upset with the black people who sold slaves?
Posted on 8/17/17 at 11:45 am to High C
I do not like confederate monuments or imagery even one little bit. Piles of dung, IMO.
BUT....
This is some even stupider bullshite from BLM. Per par for that trash organization.

Damn. My old high school football uniforms, my yearbooks and other school gear would be illegal

BLM should be illegal as well if that is the case.
They obviously do not understand the rights to association, assembly and speech.
Now they could pass a law stating a legal assembly does not include helmets, shields, bats, goggles, masks and bandanas covering the face, weapons and tools.

In other news.... BLM suggests criminalizing anything and everything white people do or have.

When political correctness fails (and gets Trump elected), just go with direct censorship.
