I agree with the sentiment up to a point, but why? it's not like posters dot com is selling replicas of Nazi propaganda posters or the NYT selling reprints of old anti-Japanese front pages. this stuff should totally exist and be stored in museums/libraries, it seems weird to continue selling and profiting off it


e: I'm gonna leave this cause maybe posters dot com does sell that poo poo, I haven't looked, so if I'm being an idiot I would like to let everyone know it. but I think it's weird to be making money off of old racist propaganda

yes burning the region of the US where all of the black people live is a great idea to solve racism

I had sex with a 32-year old at 16. SA is run by SJWs. Liking 16-year olds is not pedophilia. I hate your pronoun. I like young boys. I donate to the NAACP and probably NAMBLA too.

that have the confederate flag. i think it's sort of missing the point. erasing history can do damage to society. having it in games and stories is a reminder of what we now see as ignorant. if we don't have these reminders, then over time humanity could make the same mistakes all over again

it's different than hanging the confederate flag on buildings or your home

kwinkles posted:

you could argue that having those same six flags on the state seal is not showing any more loyalty to the confederacy than it is to france, spain, or mexico, but the confederacy was never an internationally recognized state and the others were so it's kinda hosed up that it is on the state seal and that the confederate seal is on the capitol building along with the other five seals.

Ya while I understand the desire to remove blatant references to the Confederate flag (like, say, removing one flying at a state capital), you have to draw the line somewhere. The Confederacy was a big deal and there are a lot of indirect references to it, like the texas state seal.

Or, fun fact, the LSU Tigers are a reference to the "Tiger Rifles" from the Civil War. Should we rename the Tigers? Obviously thats not going to happen.

They should digitally replace all the CSA flags in the movie Gettysburg with rainbow flags. There, now everyone would be happy.
