NASCAR backs moves on Confederate flag in wake of South Carolina church massacre

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – NASCAR is backing South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's call to remove the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds in the wake of a massacre at a Charleston church.

The motorsports series issued its statement Tuesday, one day after Haley said "the time has come" to remove the flag.

NASCAR bars the use of the flag, saying that while "freedom of expression is an inherent right of all citizens, we will continue to strive for an inclusive environment at our events."

No southern rednecks allowed

Well, the Confederacy DID lose the Civil War, so that flag really shouldn't be flown on public property like a state capital.

Flying it outside one's home IS a redneck move as well.

It's on many southern state flags in some form or another. The states should be free of interference from the Federal Government, but sometimes it's just not worth the aggravation. The slippery slope is where does it end?

Amazon just removed them from their site as well.

Warner Bros scraps Dukes of Hazzard car toys over Confederate flag controversy

The Confederate flag may or may not be removed from government buildings in South Carolina, but the relic is definitely being removed from at least one southern icon. Warner Bros. today announced that it was halting production of toys and replicas of the General Lee, the car from the Dukes of Hazzard, which famously bore the flag on its roof. The company follows in the footsteps of retailers Amazon, Sears, eBay, and Walmart, all of whom elected to ban sales of the Confederate flag and its image this week after the racially motivated murders in Charleston on Sunday.

So will they take the Dukes of Hazzard TV show off the air or stop selling the DOH DVDs?

All that will do is make EBay prices for the merchandise go higher.

I think it's pretty asinine to do this b/c of one nut job who shoots people in the South. What if that happened in the North, do they restyle the Old Glory?

There will be plenty of places that sell that merchandise, it will allow smaller companies to make money off something where previously they were undercut by the big boys.

The South is dead


The Dixie Flag Company

We are currently sold out of Confederate Battle flags and will not sell them in the foreseeable future. We have sold this historic flag for 57 years, but in recent days it has drawn intense criticism and served to divide our country. We feel that we do not need to contribute to this division

Another knee jerk reaction.

What the fuck...can't use the word Rebels anymore? Should we destroy all of the Star Wars memorabilia out there? Now it's just getting stupid.

It's the liberal cause du jour. I can't wait to find out what the government has been up to while everybody is being distracted by stupidity again. Give it about a week.....

REPUBLICAN-LED CONGRESS HANDS OBAMA MAJOR WIN ON TRADE

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a triumph of divided government, the Republican-controlled Congress passed major trade legislation Wednesday that was long-sought by President Barack Obama but vehemently opposed by most lawmakers in his party.

The measure to strengthen Obama's hand in global trade talks cleared the Senate on a vote of 60-38, and will go to the White House for his signature - less than two weeks after it was temporarily derailed in the House in an uprising of Democratic lawmakers.

Didn't you once call the administrators and moderators here at SU "Nazis?" Trollin', trollin', trollin...

We are all African now, genetically speaking, can't we just get along?


WE ARE ALL AFRICAN NOW

Our mitochondrial DNA appears to coalesce in a single woman, who lived on the African savannah 150,000 years ago. Our Y-chromosome survives from a single man, who lived in the Rift Valley of Kenya or Tanzania 59,000 years ago. So Adam and Eve did exist—90,000 years apart. The discrepancy is because, unlike the biblical Adam and Eve, this couple only represent the last common Ancestors we can trace genetically.

One flag is still flying

http://www.mybaycity.com/images/2012/admin-0002445.jpg

TAMPA — Tampa’s mayor says it’s time for the huge Confederate battle flag flying near a heavily traveled Hillsborough intersection to go.

But the only way the flag will come down is in a hurricane, says the leader of a local Confederate history group that maintains the flag and flagpole.

Even then, the world’s largest battle flag would rise again, said David McAllister, commander of the Judah P. Benjamin Camp, the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

“We all sympathize with the poor victims of Charleston, but the flag did not cause that to happen,” McAllister said Monday. “That was a horrible crime done by a mentally ill criminal responsible for his own actions, and people calling for gun and flag limitations in response are standing against the American Constitution. The flag shouldn’t remind people of a bad thing, but remind them that bad times were overcome.”
