These things are not easy to make blanket statements about ......
The what if factor....

then would have no probable end.


What if a Japanese had a sign in their front window stating :Chinese are the sick men of Asia, right next door to one?

What if someone decided to place a bumper sticker on their car like: Jewish ashtray on board

Or a bumper sticker that asked: What do you call a nigger in a tree with a briefcase? Branch manager
With a picture of a monkey hanging on to a branch with one hand & a briefcase with the other.

President Bush & Obama both have had effigy of them burned...right here in America- by voters at that. Isn't that hateful? I can't stand what Bush Jr did to America- but to burn a likeness of him?
Not in my heart.

Where do we draw the line? flags, mementos, symbols can offend anyone for any reason be it racial, social, ethnic, gender, age.

Flags to the best of my ability have never caused a war, never caused death. The confederate flag or a Nazi swastika has no power. -Take them away and hateful people will still exist.
