Rather than "kill" the flag, which won't work and which will only make rednecks dig in deeper, why not let's just steal it?
Why not let's ask Snoop Dogg and Ryan Seacrest and Bernie Sanders and the President, and all of our other heroes who have empathy and critical thinking skills, let's ask them ALL to start showing that damned battle flag as a memorial for the victims.
So that rednecks can never be sure if their fellow flag-waver is one of them, or mocking them... or hunting them.
There are plenty of problems with it, like the problem of finding non-redneck suppliers for the products, but I'd like to see those identified as well. Thanks for your consideration.

(3,431 posts)Can you attach a new symbol to the swastika? No,
it will always be interpreted as a symbol for the Nazis.
This would be true for the flag of the Confederate Army
as well.
