"We're glad to see ignorant people getting out of the business"

Major U.S. retailers say they’re done selling the Confederate flag—but Dewey Barber is just getting started.

Under pressure, retail giants including Walmart, Amazon and eBay announced that they would pull Confederate flags and similar themed products from their websites.

Barber, though, decided to do the exact opposite—he plans to begin manufacturing the Confederate flag and add it to the lineup on his Dixie Outfitters website, now that the “big boys” are out of the business.

I hope he has them made in what used to be the Good Old USA.

I don’t need one, but now I have to have one, or more.

I’m getting 4 because I can and will help a small business. To hell with the left and the ignorant.

I had this conversation earlier. Please forget about the grammar.

I’m getting 4 confederate flags.
why it’s racist.
How is it racist?
They said it on the news.
Yea but tell me why is it racist.
Well the KKK flew it.
Yea they also flew the US flag
But it stands for slavery
You mean like the US flag flew when slavery was legal up north .
Well the news said only racist people fly it.
Am I racist you know me.
No
Then why do you think it’s racist because you have not given me a fact yet.
Oh forget it

Exactly. It’s understood, even with my friends who sell on Amazon, that certain products that only a very few sell, will make money.

Libs are stupid so calling them “stupid liberals” is repetitive like saying “ATM machine”.

This, and Obama’s frequent pronouncements about the evils of guns.

I ordered two of them from another small dealer in Civil War related items. One of them a replica of an Army of Tennessee Flag because I had ancestors in that army, men who did not own slaves and only enlisted when Sherman came to Georgia. The other is a Stainless Banner, the 2nd National Flag of the CSA. Most people who see it would be clueless as to what it is.

I felt the same way. Bering from daBronx, I never really had an affinity for the Confederate flag, with all due respect to my Southern FRiends here. But thanks to the politically correct "not sees" I'm inclined to buy a few just on principle.

What’s next? Will PBS ban Ken Burns’ Civil War documentary? Somehow I doubt that one.
