Walton County Votes to Keep Confederate Flag Flying

[Leader of the Banned]

I comment mainly to encourage you to tighten up a bit, this is very loose and leaves you open to attack. It strongly implies that you have raped, imprisoned, tortured, or killed things that aren’t a Karen.

If I haven't yet done it to a Karen, then I haven't done it to anyone.

Just because you have a different opinion on flying a confederate flag on pubic property doesn't mean that I need to know your real name. How does that help? I'm just saying you can state your opinion without writing an essay on the entire history of online culture and behavior. This is a community forum. Contribute to the best of your ability, be respectful, try not to judge a whole bunch of people who may have a different belief system, don't gaslight everyone about the "true" history of the confederacy, and don't be a troll. Let's be honest and kind.

You said pubic

Using a racial slur trump threatens to defund the military to protect bases named after confederate traitors who took up arms against our nation to kill hundreds of thousands of US troops in support of slavery. Why does the party of Lincoln idolize the men who wanted him dead?

Seriously? Who really gives a crap about using the term Pocohontas.? NO ONE! No one cares about this. Please stop perpetrating cancel culture like this, its starting to become North Korea here and the THOUGHT police are going to start infiltrating our lives. Stop it! Stop trying to pretend this is offensive, its an outright lie to do so.

I am strongly against cancel culture, thought censorship and the threatening and destructive way people are using this to hurt others who express anything they deem offensive. American and other westernized nations are the only places where we even HAVE the privilege to fight about an ideal social justice blinders full-on, AS IF it is practiced and understood by all of humanity. It Is Not. Many immigrants to the USA that come from countries do not have american values and they do not treat people equally in their home lands. And many will continue NOT to treat people equally when they get to the USA, continuing their oppressive, mysogynst, sexist, racist, abusive backwards cultures here until they get caught and thrown in jail. Slavery is still practiced in many countries today. Notably, 58 percent of people in slavery are living in just five countries: India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Uzbekistan. Other countries include: Nigeria, Russia, Indonesia and the North Africa/Egypt area. Its pretty much widespread in the middle east. Saudi Arabia is rampant with domestic slaves from the Philipines, and they often abuse and kill them. PH, source of modern-day slaves – The Manila Times Many Philipino families immigrated to the US with their slaves, registering them as family members or maids. Google it there are tons of great articles on this topic. My point is, American social justice does not extend worldwide and into other "Cultures". This is western phenomenon only. We as a culture are taking this too far with all of the censorship, thought police, demonization and eradication of history and cataloging of "offensive" words. The now forbidden offensive word/ offensive phrase list has grown exponentially in just a few years and its leading us straight into a nation where we have to live in fear. We are eroding away at our freedoms of speech and trading them in for a worthless false sense of civility. True change to societal norms should not be a compulsory mandate threatened by losing your job, getting kicked out of a university or other attacks on your livelihood and life.

Native Americans find it insulting, but I guess to you they aren’t real Americans.

I am for canceling ignorance and bigotry.

I'm guessing someone has a small appliance and some running shoes on the burn pile, but abhores cancel culture.
