Btw, I havent seen a rebel flag in my local Walmart or Target (not saying it isnt there, maybe the Duck Dynasty stuff is hiding it lol) despite having a state powerhouse high school football team here, The West Monroe Rebels. We do have a locally owned business, "Crafts Galore, The Rebel" Store, that has all things "rebel". ....so maybe their business will pick up.

When I Googled Walmart yesterday, the site said " Call ahead ". I don't know IF any of them EVER carried them. It may be just " Public Relations" to look good. bigsmile

Walmart I hate.. grumble
But I have NEVER seen them sold, other than sporting goods. Like Cabelas or hardware stores or on line.

I think it a lot of PC crap.
And Amazon & other sites raised their prices on them yesterday, up to 3%. So no matter how people THINK... this is a BIG MONEY maker.

Datwasntme,
Sorry, no idea what you are talking about, saying " It is sad I can't see the difference " ... or do you mean people in general?

Because, people don't know American History. It is sad & comical in my opinion. I think it is people jumping on a ban wagon. And only few will profit from with money or political power. It certainly will not change anything, especially history.

People collect all kinds of stuff, for love or profit or for a fad.

Walmart - I have been boycotting them for years, since I found out how badly they were (& probably still are), treating their Haiti women employees mad
The more facts I dug up around the world, the more, I tell people " Don't go in there ".
Sadly they are the largest, single employer in the world.
When I say " All roads lead to Walmart ", I'm joking & serious.

6 Companies Ban Confederate Flag Sales

6 hours ago | Updated 21 minutes ago

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Retailers are banning the Confederate flag.

Last week's massacre in Charleston, South Carolina, which left nine black church members dead and a white supremacist gunman charged, kicked off a movement to remove the flag from the grounds of the state capitol.
This week, protests spilled into the private sector, as a growing number of major online and brick-and-mortar retailers vowed to pull the rebel flag from their shelves.
Here are some of the companies that have banned the flag:

1. Walmart
walmart The nation’s largest retailer decided to discontinue sales of Confederate merchandise in the aftermath of last week’s shooting. Walmart spokesman Brian Nick.
"We never want to offend anyone with the products that we offer. We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment -- whether in our stores or on our web site. We have a process in place to help lead us to the right decisions when it comes to the merchandise we sell. Still, at times, items make their way into our assortment improperly -- this is one of those instances."
2. eBay
ebay logo EBay announced Tuesday it will ban Confederate flags and related items containing the flag's image from its website. A spokesperson for the online auction site said:
“We have decided to prohibit Confederate flags, and many items containing this image, because we believe it has become a contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism.”
3. Sears
sears store Sears, which owns and operates Sears and Kmart retail stores, does not sell Confederate flags in its stores. However, it announced that it will no longer allow the sale of Confederate merchandise by third-party venders on its website, according to Reuters. Sears spokesman Chris Brathwaite told Reuters:
"We are in the process of scrubbing our marketplace to pull those items down.”
4. Target
target store Target pulled one Confederate soldier costume from its website after a CNBC reporter questioned a spokesperson about it. In a statement to HuffPost, spokeswoman Molly Snyder said:
“Our intention is never to offend. We all recognize the great sensitivity around this and have removed that one item from our website. But ... that was the only item.”
5. Etsy
etsy The online marketplace Etsy, known for homemade crafts, said it planned to remove all Confederate flag items from its site. In a statement to HuffPost, Etsy said:
“Today, we are removing confederate flag items from our marketplace. Etsy’s policies prohibit items or listings that promote, support or glorify hatred and these items fall squarely into that category. With each new application of our policies, we strive to strike the right balance between creative freedom, Etsy's values, and establishing a safe and respectful marketplace for members. The challenge of defining and eliminating offensive items raises deep and complex issues -- both philosophical and pragmatic -- which we at Etsy wrestle with regularly. We strive to think about our site holistically and determine what is best for the entire community.”
6. Amazon
amazon The e-commerce giant said Tuesday that it plans to remove all flags and related merchandise, according to Reuters and The Washington Post.

The Confederate Flag

The Confederate Flag, if you like it or not is a part of our history. It may not represent the best of any human race, or be held by some as a contribution to this country's greatness, but it does to many.

Many black men wore the Confederate gray and they understood the War was not a racist War. Do you realize the Emancipation Proclamation was signed on January 1, 1863? On August 14, 1862, less than five months before the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, Abraham Lincoln invited a number of leading blacks men to the White House to give them his words of wisdom and to demonstrate to them why he was attempting to colonize them back in Africa. By the way, Lincoln's Negro policy was to send them all back to Africa. That was his policy. William Seward, William Stanton, all of them wanted the same thing.

Lincoln said in a speech in Charleston, Illinois, 1858.

Lincoln said, “I am not now nor have ever been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or the political equality of a White and Black races. I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people”. “There is a physical difference between the white and black races, which will forever forbid the two races from living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man”. Abraham Lincoln.

The Confederate flag has never stood as a racist symbol. If you want racism you can look to Lincoln for that, the Confederate flag is not a flag of slavery. There was not one slave ever brought into this country under the Confederate flag. Every slave that was brought into this country was brought in by Northern ships under the Stars and Stripes. There was not even a slave brought into this country on a Southern vessel! The slaves were brought into this country on Northern vessels under the Stars and Stripes.

Out of the 224 years that slavery was legal in this country; only four of those years did the Confederate Battle Flag fly. And by the way, there were slaves in this country in 1620, if you want to hate a flag the British flag England was responsible for taking five million blacks from Africa and selling them to every country under the sun. If you want to hate a flag, why not hate the Dutch flag or the Portuguese flag, or the Spanish flag? They sold slaves too, and if you want to hate a flag today, how about hating the Muslim flags because even today the Muslims are still involved in slavery! Let’s be honest if you want to believe that the War of 1861 to 1865 was over slavery, you are wrong, slavery was made the issue by the liberal revisionists. Abraham Lincoln proposed a thirteenth amendment in March of 1861, the only proposed constitutional amendment that was signed by a sitting President. It bears Abraham Lincoln's signature. Here was Abraham Lincoln's proposed thirteenth amendment:

No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give Congress the power to abolish or interfere within any state with the domestic institutions thereof, including that a person's held to labor or service by laws of said State.

Lincoln's proposed thirteenth amendment said Congress shall not have the power to interfere with any institutions within any state including those held to labor or service by the laws of that State. In other words, what Abraham Lincoln was saying to the South, if you will accept this proposed thirteenth amendment, you may forever keep slaves.

Beauregard never fired on Fort Sumter until April 9. This was in March of 1861! If the War had been about slavery and if the South wanted just to keep slaves and that was it, why fire a gun? Why fire a shot? Just simply accept his proposed thirteenth amendment and it would all be over.

This resolution was passed unanimously by Congress on July 23, 1861. You may read it for yourself in the Congressional Record. Here is what this resolution says: The War is waged by the government of the United States not in the spirit of conquest or subjugation, nor for the purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or institutions of the states, but to defend and protect the Union. Congress said the War is not about slavery! I will even give you a thirteenth amendment that will allow you to make slavery permanent.

You see what was happening was this: There are a lot of issues and I can't cover them all, but one of the issues was an economic issue. Do you realize the South, before the War, was extremely wealthy? And the South before the War funded probably 75 to 80% of all the taxes. But the North wanted a 40% tariff. The south said no. The most we will ever agree to is a 10% tariff. And what Lincoln and the republicans were doing was this: They were saying we would give you the thirteenth amendment. We will let you keep your slaves if that is what you want. You just let us keep our tariffs. In other words, the North was willing to sell the blacks out for money, for higher taxes! They could care less. Abraham Lincoln said If I could save the Union without freeing any of the slaves I would do it.

Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. And the Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves. No it didn't. The Emancipation Proclamation did not free one slave! Do you know what Abraham Lincoln tried to do with the Emancipation Proclamation? In fact he said so he and so do other men in his Cabinet. They say that the Emancipation Proclamation was a war measure. Lincoln wanted to keep England specifically, and the rest of Europe particularly from joining in with, or recognizing the Confederate states of America.

That was his first goal in the Emancipation Proclamation. His second goal was another war measure in the sense; he was hoping that the blacks in the South would rise up in rebellion against their white masters and the white people. Let me tell you something, just to show you there was no trouble in the South - there was not one rebellion during that war of black folks. Do you realize a thousand torches in a thousand black hands would have emptied the Confederate armies, because the men would have gone home to protect their families? And Lincoln knew that. You see what Lincoln did?

Lincoln freed the slaves in the South where he had absolutely no authority and he refused to release the slaves in the North where he did have authority. Did you know that in the Northern armies even when they were fighting the South there were over 300,000 slaveholders in the Northern armies? Did you know that General Robert E. Lee before the war ever began; when he inherited some slaves he freed them.

General Ulysses S. Grant, who was the main General of the North and after wards became President, even after the war was over, kept his slaves. And he did so with this excuse: good help is hard to find. You see the truth of the matter is this: the Emancipation Proclamation was not only unconstitutional, and everybody recognized it, it cost the Republicans a lot of elections. There were five Northern states that refused after that to elect Republicans to Congress. And moreover, there were a lot of Union soldiers that deserted because of it and refused to fight. Slavery was not the issue. Slavery has never been the issue until recently, until political liberals and the political correct people wanted to make it the issue.
