(CNN) - The Confederate battle flag no longer flies outside the South Carolina State House, but the controversy is hardly over.

Images of the flag and other Confederate symbols can be found throughout the United States, especially in the Southeast. With the victory by anti-flag forces in South Carolina, complaints about its display in other places may well multiply.

Here's a sampling of upcoming battlefields over the Confederate battle flag and other symbols.

I never had the slightest interest in owning a Confederate flag...until now.

I’ve seen three separate pickups with them a-waving in the truck beds in the past 10 days in my county.

So why do blacks keep killing in each in Chicago with NO confederate flag around for miles?

Me either. But if I buy one, it will be a nice one. One as large as the flag I have from my father’s funeral.

Its time people start reexamining Martin Luther King, Jr. and his background with respect to communism, adultery, embezzlement, promoting prostitution, plagiarism or outright intellectual theft. Slavery wasn’t a crime when the Confederacy was formed yet many things that MLK did were immoral, illegal, and dishonest and we have a National Holiday for this man.

My son saw a pick up with a huge one yesterday. This is in Monkey County, Maryland! Home of the libtards and the no meat/sanctuary county/Berkenstock sandal/ idiots. He gave a thumbs up to the driver!

You do know that since the collectivists are having such an easy time committing genocide on a symbol of the Confederacy it won’t take much to genocide anyone who doesn’t agree with them.

Nice going Nikki. Why don’t you strut your Kim Kardashian butt out of So Carolina and go clean house for Jeb and Columbia?

That’s about all your good for now.

Unbelievable.

The leftist media really is digging deep. This ridiculous crusade of their's is all they are talking about.

The degree of their insanity really is unnerving.

I say go on the offensive and point out, prove, and demonstrate that history and heritage should be left alone from political correctness or they shall suffer the same fate.

When you remind Democrats that all of the segregationists were of their party they usually respond by saying, “well they all became Republicans like Strom Thurmond.” It’s pretty obvious what they’re doing. They’re changing the historical narrative of racism, which is part of the Democratic Party’s legacy, and shifting it to the Republicans. They’re trying to, pardon the pun, whitewash their historical past. The Republicans are the racist party now. They fly the Confederate flag in southern states they control. They’re trying to keep Blacks from voting by supporting voter ID laws. You get the point. It’s so transparent but so many low information people are eating this up so don’t look for the Dems to back down on ratcheting up the racial tensions in this country. No, it’s about to get a helluva lot worse
