Confederate Flag Controversy

The Charleston, SC shootings have been the news lately.

As a result of the killings, there are increasing calls for the Confederate flag to be taken down in the state capital of Columbia.

This whole confederate flag/racism controversy is just yet another moldy reminder of how imbecilic US society has become.

If non-whites are so offended by the confederate flag and the negative policies and past that it represents for them, then what do Afghanis , Iraqis, and other victims of US 'regime change' think and feel when they see the US flag, and the evil is represents?

The US flag to date represents more blood, violence, pain, and carnage than the confederate flag ever will. Doesn't anyone see this?

Taking down the confederate flag won’t end racism. It will entrench it. It will only anger those who still support the flag’s display, and cause more divisions. It may even lead to future shootings, so those calling for its removal may want to think twice.

The problem here isn’t the Confederate flag and even what it represents to its opponents.

The problem here is the one that has existed in the US since the beginning, before it was even the US.

It’s the problem inherent in a multi-racial society.

Where there’s a society dominated by one type of race, and attempts are made to ship in people of other races among them, racism and racial tension is the natural and inevitable result.

It doesn't matter whether someone is racist or not; white or black.That's just the plain reality of living a multi-racial society.

No amount of feel-goods speeches, longing and praying for an ‘end to racism’ will change this.

Look what happened in S. Africa and Zimbabwe. Look what is happening in the US, and now Europe. This is the result when people, white or not, are taken out of their homeland and injected somewhere else, whether by force, bad circumstance or by choice. History shows that such experimentations don’t end well in the long-run. 

It’s funny how people in South Carolina are demanding the removal of the Confederate flag. My parents were there on vacation a few years ago and saw a black guy selling confederate flags as souvenirs.

Perhaps covering the whole thing up with money may dampen tempers. This seems to be the classic US fix, even if it doesn’t work.
