Uh oh, some people in Georgia are offended over a license plate

Georgia officials have once again approved a specialty license plate featuring the Confederate battle flag, infuriating civil rights advocates and renewing a debate among those who believe the symbol honors Confederate heritage and those who see it as racially charged.
quote:
Southern Christian Leadership Conference spokesman Maynard Eaton told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the state shouldn't have sanctioned the move.
"To display this is reprehensible," Eaton said. "We don't have license plates saying 'Black Power.'"

Residents of GA can do what they like, but personally I would like people to have the option to indicate how exactly fricking stupid, backwards and racist they are.
That way I can avoid them.

Louisiana has the same thing.
I thought about getting one because I am eligible to join the SCV since I am a direct descendant of one.

Wars aren't fought by 'good guys' against 'bad guys'. I understand some have co-opted the flag to be a sign of hate but that wasn't in any way it's original intent.
Would I get one for my car? Hell no. But let's not throw too many stones at the descendants of those that died in a preventable and tragic war some 150 years ago.

That sounds like something a God Damn Yankee would say.

How do you feel about the US flag then? After all, it was flown by the same people who killed thousands upon thousands of Indians and stole their land too.

If the biggest race issue people can find to bitch about is a confederate flag on a license plate, there are no race issues anymore.
Obviously there are still race issues, but this isn't one of them. The majority of Americans couldn't even identify the confederate flag unless you told them they are supposed to be pissed about it.

That's actually quite a point relative to the CSA

Still doesn't address the problem with recent history and symbols of forced segregation though

Glad you are so tolerant of history

The majority of blacks in 2014 couldn't identify it either, which is pretty much the point.

If we would just stop appeasing all these pot stirring individuals, then people would learn to to stop being unnecessarily offended and start being more tolerant of things they shouldn't be offended by in the first freaking place.
This country has turned into a world where we'll appease the 1% minority at the expense of the remaining 99%.

That started with a request by BHP and I ended up doing several versions of it.
Glad you liked it enough to remember it.
