Well, I'm convinced. All these flags are racist. We should ban them all. As a matter of fact, we should ban all the people who fly such flags. That's right, we'll just kick out the southern states from the US and make them survive as their own country, that'll show 'em! ...wait...

Do you not see a distinct difference between Alabama and Florida flags versus the other 5 states you listed.
While I agree that the 'dixie cross' has become a symbol of hate for many, I just believe it should be noted that Alabama and Florida's Flags have different origins that many are unaware of.

Actually where I saw this article started a firestorm of dialogue about just this. People on that site wanting the entire southeast to be forced to secede, or kicked out of the States. There is no underestimating people's stupidity.

Lets end this once and for all . Lets pick 52 colors randomly. Place them in a hat. Let each governor from each state pick a color from the hat. That color will be the state flag. No design , no other color. A state flag of solid color that they drew from the hat....

Are these other flags OK or would you like to have them censured also ?

No one had the SC flag "censured". The state legislature voted to take it down. That's STATES' RIGHTS.
As regards these other flags, it's up to the STATE and really none of our business. They are FREE to have their flags. That's not censure, that's FREEDOM!

Of course people have expressed disapproval of the flag, but the reason the flag was removed was because the state freely CHOSE to do it, for whatever reason. It's not like they were forced to. They are not victims of "censure".
