Re:MS will ban Forza players who add the confederate flag to... by spaceisballer on Thursday July 02, 2020 @01:24PM (#23715647)
It’s so odd for people to mention it being a slippery slope. The confederate flag is a symbol of when traitors in our own country tried to rise up so that they could keep people as slaves. People say it was about state’s rights, yes the rights to keep people as slaves was a huge factor of it. There is nothing to celebrate here, the South wanted to unify and overrun the North. A lot of people died over this, it’s not worth celebrating there’s no heritage there worth putting on display. Full disclosure I grew up in the north, so it wasn’t until I moved out East that I ever encountered people that really tried to pass off flying the Confederate flag as a symbol of heritage. My belief is the Nazi flag is to Germany as the Confederate flag is to the US. They are symbols of hate and symbols of a dark past. The case seems clear cut, there’s nothing slippery.
