Here is what I have to say.

I know many of you out there find the Confederate flag offensive. All in good reason, it is no secret that there were states. Most who allowed slavery wanted to secede from the Union. There were various reasons why they wanted to leave, but the most common reason was slavery. But still, there are people who get a different interpretation of what they see about the flag. Some see it as a sign of Southern pride. I myself, though from North Carolina, have no Confederate flag paraphernalia. No desire to get any. I have black friends myself. I would certainly never want to offend them with it. I do see how emotional it is. And yes, I know that Dylann Roof had paraphernalia of that flag. I know Roof openly hated blacks. Hence why he committed the Charleston Massacre.

With that being said, what I don't like is that companies like Amazon and eBay, though may have ban Confederate flag paraphernalia, still allow, the Hammer and Sickle, the Swastika, and the Pentagram. Besides the Pentagram, they also still allow paraphernalia with message of blatant Satanic worship. I know there is going to be a lot of people, such as myself who does find all that paraphernalia offensive. Should that be ban as well? Personally, I believe that is a very good question. No, I am NOT trying to defend slavery. YES, I agree slavery was one of the mistakes of the past. That's is why don't have any Confederate flag paraphernalia, nor any desire to get any. But I feel since one form of freedom of expression (often with different interpretation by many) has been banned, it still makes me ask the question, what about the paraphernalia that people may find offensive.

I am happy we won World War II. No offense to people from the Axis countries in this world during that war (I am sincerely not trying to offend you). However, I hate to think what the world would have been like if Hitler and and Nazis won. So, yes, I do take offense to the Swastika.

I am also happy the United States won the Cold War. Once again I mean no offense to our former communist enemies. However, I know how the communists treated people. Depriving them of their sacred freedoms to establish complete and total equality. Well, due to the fact Communism doesn't work, was why the whole thing went kaput. Like slavery, I also see Communism is also a mistake of the past. And I find it offensive there are still people who think it can work (despite it has been proven time and time again it cannot). I also hate the fact the Communists were atheists who tried to silence all forms of organized religion. They wanted the world to be atheists like them. They were atheists to fought to rid of people from religion. So, yes, I find the Hammer and Sickle offensive.

Asked for SATANIC paraphernalia, no need for explanation there. If you read my previous posts you can already tell how that would offend me! All I am trying to make people do is think. I HOPE I did NOT offend anybody with what I had to say. But this does make me think.
