I would literally kill (or at-least detain) someone sporting an ISIS flag if I was definitely sure that's what it was.

So freedom expression for you, but not for them. Got it.

Noting that it is a organization the US is at war with, it is treason here to support it.

So was the confederacy. You can't be this stupid, I think you are a troll.

I live in Georgia, we have confederate flags all around. Racial hatred here is mostly black people discriminating white people.

Contradicting yourself in two sentences. You might be the biggest idiot on this forum.

The thing is, black people and white people alike are both used to the flag being sported here.

I can't even right now. You're either a troll or still in school or something. I can't even be bothered to sift through the rest of your crap. ''They're used to a symbol that was designed to symbolise a nation which had a desire to dehumanise them, what consequences could this possibly have? keep it around, it's tradition!''

Kendama confirmed as biggest twat on graalians.

Also, as a little fun fact, anyone with ISIS flags where I am is straight up getting shot no question. That's just the difference between the more libertarian and proactive north and the traditional deep south.

All this effort America puts in to prevent racism or the racist past (confederate flag) and things like this still go on, welp.

@Vendetta, the group has extended well beyond Syria and into the whole Levant which is why the S was replaced with L so technically speaking it's the proper way to address the group.  

What I don't understand is why people still feel the need to be waving the confederate flag around at all. They were the enemy to the US. Why do people still support that?

There's not really a proper way to address the group as they refer to themselves as "Islamic State", the US use "ISIL" or "DAESH", other places and generally the media use "ISIS". The Arabic name for the group roughly translates to "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levanant/Great Syria" so like I said technically either one can be used.

Then leave, it's not like America wants you.

Welcome back to America, Enjoy!  

You are an idiot if you can't see why someone would be more upset over an ISIL/ISIS flag than a confederate flag. ISIS is a modern day organization that has executed US citizens. The Confederacy existed in the 1860s and its legacy was crushed after the civil rights movement. So if it is questionable to you as why someone born after the year 1990 would be more aggravated by ISIS flag than a Confederate flag then you probably aren't too sharp.

Because some people don't support the US.  

They're both ****.

Yeah, that's what I thought bro. Save your "freedom to have any flag" bull**** for someone else.

Many people down in the south have heritage that died in the war. I think most people forget that while the USA is one individual country, it is composed of many different territories, regions, states, cultures, and heritages.

A very small percentage of Americans would welcome slavery these days. But the Confederate flag is embedded in our history and not everybody views it as a racist symbol. Regardless if it is or not- the flag itself is meer perspective. It has racist roots but so does the American flag- waving over US armies that massacred native americans. Does that mean that the US flag is racist?

Well I don't find it really racist. The world hates ISIS/ISIL because they are slaughtering innocent people/civilians and initiating fear and terror. They already made it clear they want to kill all Americans. The flag is plain and simple unacceptable to be accepted in the US for a great reason, But constitutionally (where the confederate flag comes in) it is somewhat protected.

I hate ISIS, and as infantry I hope I get lucky enough to put some of them down in the next couple years.

You're argument is pointless. There is a sea of difference between ISIS and the Confederacy. Trying to bring something as evil as ISIS to assist your argument is ridiculous.

This is exactly why there are a lot of people who do not like the USMC. Regardless of the cause, anyone who has so little value for human life is a sack of ****.

Yes they are; their actions are obviously inhumane and atrocious, but I fail to see how hoping you get a chance to kill people is humane either. The middle east is a ****ed up place right now, and a lot of the terrorists that are out there are people whose choices were to support ISIS or die.
