Just wait till they come after every state with a city or county named Columbus....
A lot of people think thus is directed at Mississippi but It'll be interesting to see how far this will go. The Georgia state flag is almost identical to the flag of the CSA.
Which is very similar to the United States of America flag........ColonialDawg said:

This is very simple. This is about Mississippi.
Of course it is.Dean Legge said:

But if people really care and want to use consistent logic (feelings/memories/etc) you have to include Georgia.
But it's not going to stop there...at least for now. You'll see a lot of folks demand that Georgia, Alabama, and Florida change their flags because they contain imagery of the Confederacy. This goes far beyond racism. This has to do with the Confederacy being "treasonous and anti-American." People want anything and everything to do with the CSA wiped from memory.Dean Legge said:

For example, I've seen comments like this everywhere on social media:
"But the punishment for remaining loyal to traitors is your don't get championships played in your state."
There really isn't any gray area.
If you feel uncomfortable around the battle flag, you must feel uncomfortable around the actual CSA flag.
Thus, if you want Mississippi's changed and the state under sanctions for using the battle flag, you must want the same for Georgia for using the CSA flag.
If you don't I'd love to hear that logic.

Well, I disagree with you on this one a little. The Confederate battle flag has unfortunately been adopted by groups like the KKK and white supremacists, who regularly fly it at their rallies. Like it or not, it is now a racist symbol. Mississippi needs to remove it.CummingDawg22 said:

Hardly anyone knows that the Georgia state flag resembles the actual flag of the CSA. But people want it changed, nonetheless. Not because it is racist, but because it is supposedly a symbol of treason. Like I said, anything and everything having to do with the Civil War era in the south is in the gunsights of the woke mob.
Point taken on "Hardly anyone knows that the Georgia state flag resembles the actual flag of the CSA." I totally agree.ColonialDawg said:Well, I disagree with you on this one a little.

If the the test was "things a reasonable % of the population associate with a negative connotation" then sure. But that is clearly not the test.
For example, we are removing statues of people I've personally never heard of. We are renaming buildings of people I had no idea ever walked this Earth. What about the UF chant?
However, if this is about equality and in the bigger picture, slavery, that doesn't change what the CSA flag is or what the CSA stood for.
It's hard to keep up with the moving goalpost.
We are firing people over this stuff, but yet the Governor of Virginia is out here giving lectures.
Yup. I live in Virginia, so the disgusting irony is not lost on me one bit.CummingDawg22 said:Point taken on "Hardly anyone knows that the Georgia state flag resembles the actual flag of the CSA."

Georgia changed its flag years ago.
Georgia removed the Confederate battle flag from the State flag in 2003; however, and I bet you 99% of people don't even know this, the current flag is almost identical to the national flag flown by the Confederacy (The Stars and Bars).1949dawg said:
