Being willfully ignorant on this and to allow the Rebel flag to have place in any state representation is to overtly condone hatred and violence.

The confederate flag is a symbol of racial division and oppression and as such the local and federal government should not allow it to be used or displayed at government buildings or on government issued items.

We don’t care to debate whether the Fox commentators are sincere when they voice their corrosive ideas, or if it is simply a matter of a herd mentality that kicks in when more than one of them is in a room and the klieg lights are on, but there is no denying that they and Fox make money off this. This is a classic example of sensationalistic yellow journalism. And it’s worse because it is also ideologically driven, and it perpetuates racist ideology.

Since last week's mass shooting it's become evident that the Confederate flag is a symbol of racism, hatred, and division. It has no place on state property or state issued materials; including vanity car license plates. North Carolina needs to immediately drop the "Sons of Confederate Veterans" license plate from the vanity plate options and pull existing plates of this design when they come up for renewal.

The Confederate flag has no place in today's society.

We call on amazon to follow the lead of Walmart and stop selling Confederate flag merchandise. It would be an important start toward ending public acceptance of this symbol of hate.

The Confederate flag has rightfully come under scrutiny in the wake of the racially-motivated murder of nine Black people at a church in Charleston, South Carolina. Recent photos of the murderer showed him posing next to his car with Confederate flag license plates. Virginia should stop issuing license plates that bear this image. Virginia is one of only nine states that still permit this hateful symbol on government-issued plates. The Supreme Court recently ruled that license plates represent government speech, not private speech, and that states may constitutionally refuse to issue such plates. While some may have displayed the Confederate flag for other reasons, it has overwhelmingly come to symbolize racism, and the defense of slavery and segregation. We should send a clear message that Virginia does not stand for these things.

The Escambia County Commission and the majority of the five commissioners have voted to continue to fly the Confederate Flag over the Civic Center. In addition, the local governments continue to fly the Confederate flag in its marketing and promotion of the Pensacola Bay area as the "city of five flags." All of the Confederate flags symbolize the willingness of those states to secede from The United States of America. All Confederate flags are anti-American and symbolize the so noted "cornerstone of the Confederacy" which has been stated as the superiority of the white race and the inferiority of the Negro. That cornerstone statement is not a legacy of southern heritage and culture to be celebrated or commemorated in the symbol of the Confederate flag. Sign to take all Confederate flags down.

In South Carolina, a young man entered a church and sat there for an hour among his victims. He had planned this for months and has declared himself a racist and hates, Blacks, Mexicans and Jews. These people have not done anything to him and this was a hate crime. Personally this did not affect me, but a crime against my people, my Black people, is a crime against me. The Confederate flag should be removed from all license plates, and any merchandise that has this racist flag on it. It is time to take a stand and stop this behavior and stop the printing presses from printing another Confederate flag.

It's long past time to stop offending our brothers and sisters for whom this flag represents the worst of our past behavior. Let's move on towards peace, respect and community.

Since the racially-motivated murder of nine Black community members at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, the Confederate flag has rightfully come under scrutiny. Now that South Carolina has agreed to remove its Confederate flag, it's time North Carolina do the same. North Carolina is one of only nine states that still permits this hateful symbol on government-issued plates, and it's time for that to change.

I and many other Tennessee residents are tired of seeing our state government endorse symbols of racism, hatred, and slavery. That's the only "heritage" this flag represents.
