    “Removal of citizens’ right to have (the license plates) is deliberate discrimination by the government and the state of Virginia … only hatred and discrimination by the Commonwealth causes a committee vote to remove them,” Edward Willis, a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, told the panel.

    So according to this racist asshole removing the traitor’s flag, which is a genuine symbol of hatred and discrimination from a government license plate IS hatred and discrimination.

    These people are unbelievable.

      They speak in bad faith. They’re just racists who are too coward to admit that they’re racist and feign outrage to justify being racist.

        Exactly. They are the worst people in our nation, absolute unapologetic INTERGENERATIONAL traitors. We have no obligation to listen their treasonous whines. They’re lucky their bloodlines still exist, in many places they would have been rounded up and executed over the last 150 years.

        Americans, especially Democrats, have a pathological need to be polite, especially to bad people who are trying to exploit us. Not accepting bad treatment from bad people does not make us as bad as them, it makes us strong enough to be leaders. And those who refuse to stand up to bad people don’t deserve positions of leadership.

        Hear that Schmuck & Jeffries?

      I bet you anything he’d figure out right quick why it isn’t discrimination if folks wanted to put the progress pride flag on their license plates.
