Did you ask it? Multiple tries may be needed.
Inanimate objects being racist. Is this a new meme or have I been absent from popular culture for too long.
If we as a society are going to keep attributing mistakes in history to simple objects, we will have nothing left. If we are going to gloss over context and time to make an item the object of our aggression, we will have nothing left.

A lot of people that think the Confederate flag is racist, don't even blink an eye when they see the American flag being burnt or desecrated.
It doesn't matter to them at all. That's the problem I have with them.
I have no opinion on that flag whatsoever, it was before my time...it's not my flag, Old Glory is my flag.
If people want to fly 10 Confederate flags or rip 10 of them to shreds, I don't care either way.
And I will say STFU right now, to anyone that tries to call me a racist.
But I am sure it's coming.
