Anti-Confederates now after the Maryland state flag

It's out of control.

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — During a social media campaign to derail HBO’s planned modern-day Southern slavery drama, one Twitter user’s posts about the history of the Maryland flag got a lot of attention. “What a lot of people don’t know is that the Maryland flag is half confederate,” @benjancewicz wrote, using the hashtag #NoConfederate.
quote:
George Calvert, first Lord Baltimore, adopted a coat of arms that included a shield with alternating quadrants featuring the yellow-and-black colors of his paternal family and the red-and-white colors of his maternal family, the Crosslands,” state archives say.
quote:
But the red and white part of the flag, known as the Crossland arms, was also the design flown by Marylanders who sympathized with the South in the Civil War, according to state records. “During the war, Maryland-born Confederate soldiers used both the red-and-white colors and the cross bottony design from the Crossland quadrants of the Calvert coat of arms as a unique way of identifying their place of birth,” the records say. “Pins in the cross bottony shape were worn on uniforms, and the headquarters flag of the Maryland-born Confederate general Bradley T. Johnson was a red cross bottony on a white field.”
It's out of control.

It should be changed on account of being hideous, regardless of history.

Mississippi and Georgia have actual Confederate flags as state flags. I wouldn't sweat this if I were Maryland.

Confederates breathed oxygen. Hold your breath unless you're a racist.

You can never give in to these people. Once they smell blood in the water, it's over. Tell them to piss up a rope. What are they going to do about it?

There are so many bored, untalented people with nothing better to do. They are trying to make names for themselves by making up problems and providing solutions to these made-up problems.

I agree. The Maryland football team's uniform is ugly as frick because of it's flag.

I think people in Maryland love their flag so much that they would readopt slavery before changing the flag.

After they remove this flag the blacks will be kangz again.

This is why you never give in to the SJWs.
Not even a little bit.
Because it never stops. Any weakness is blood in the water.
The only thing that will stop them is steadfast and principled resistance. Never appeasement
ETA: I see we think alike upgrayedd.
With 2 D's, for a double dose of "pimping"

They have IMO the best looking state flag.

This is about a flag. I know you're not bright but it's in the OP.
