An interesting point - can it not be said that the Mexican flag represents a "contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism,"?

And that it's an item that "promotes or glorifies hatred, violence and racial intolerance,"

Yup. And the Palestinian flag and the flag of the African Black Congress and that rainbow flag.

Yes, the Rainbow flag is divisive. It needs to be removed from parades and any public venue.

Let’s see how they respond to that.

We would have had amnesty a decade ago if it were not for the Mexican Flag. Pictures of those idiots waving it in protests were what riled the populace and stopped the Bush plan dead in its tracks.

Nice try but not gonna gain any demovotes if that were to happen. “They’d” simply blame it on the republicans. Or call out any conservative as racist. Which I’m still not sure of since that hell hole ended up under Spanish control and I kinda thought Spain was part of europe. It’s all to confusing. When will someones lifestyle get classified as a “race”.

OK, I can go along with that. Any state or federal building in the U.S. that is flying the Mexican flag should take it down.

Now, any other apples-and-oranges issues we can address?

Agree with banning the Mexican flag and all things and people Mexican as “the Mexican flag represents a clear and present danger to US sovereignty via the invasion of illegals that it is fomenting”. But the rest of the post is BS and misses the point why the Confederate flag must go to a museum AND the hate, racism, and bigotry associated with it must be addressed. Most Republicans and conservatives are not hateful, racist, bigots, but insisting on and defending the Confederate flag sure blurs that distinction and, unfortunately, gives fodder to the Democratic and media meme to the contrary. And all of these comparative complaints are like our kids asking why they can’t stay up late since the neighbor’s kids are still out playing. Our rules and values are different.

The National Association for the Advancement of COLORED People is a racist organization. Their practice of exclusion, indicated by their name is offensive. I call on them to change their name. Until they do so, they have no moral standing to lecture anyone on racism.

I agree! Any national flag, other than on government buildings, other than the US Flag is offensive to me.
Based on my feelings, they should not be sold, of displayed in any form. That is big business, Walmart said so, so they have removed the CSA Flag. Now for all the others. You are either an American or not. You cannot straddle the fence.

" Say to Mr. Poinsett that it is very true that I threw up my cap for liberty with great ardor, and perfect sincerity, but very soon found the folly of it. A hundred years to come my people will not be fit for liberty. They do not know what it is, unenlightened as they are, and under the influence of a Catholic clergy, a despotism is the proper government for them, but there is no reason why it should not be a wise and virtuous one" General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna (ca 1836)

The Mexican worker class can never assimilate here nor can they participate in an enlightened Republic such as ours. Their government facilitates their expulsion to the US because their government despises their dark skin and predisposition to poverty. They are not allowed to participate in affairs of the state.

On the other side, our politicians are willing to throw over white and black Americans all for the sake of cheap labor for republicans and cheap votes for democrats

Any case made that the Confederate Battle flag represents historical racism could also be made against anything named for Robert Byrd, possessed of a more recent history of racism.

Oh please, yes!

And Spanish, while we’re at it!

See if Lowe’s has the guts to pull down their MYRIAD profligate acquiescence to illegals.

I propose we ban all groups/organizations that advocate for any specific group based on race.
