Talk about brain-dead hypocrisy.
For white folks, the Confederate flag represents a chapter in history where one emerging white culture was forcibly retained within another white culture's national union, but still maintains and celebrates a sense of local identity. As such, it is somewhat analogous to the Scottish flag flown by nationalists within the UK.
But for black people, the comparison breaks down. The flag represents countless hangings, burnings, rapes, beatings, maimings, wrongful arrests and convictions, denial of opportunities, abduction, slavery, over a century of oppression, and lifetimes of feeling like second rate citizens.
The confederate flag is a potent symbol that, amongst other things, screams out the message "Know your place, N*GG*R!!"

I believe the powers that be at Apple considered this may be the catalyst that has good potential to create a competing iOS app web site similar to the Apple Store. First, Civil War related apps, then many other apps. The revenue loss can go far beyond the apps that depict a non-PC flag.
The South may have won the war, if they had given up slavery and removed it from the equation. Britain and France might have supported their fight, and that would have turned the tide. By the time they decided to drop slavery as a core issue and bring blacks into the Confederate army, it was too late. Nevertheless, some 90,000 blacks joined the Confederate army, an army that was integrated from the start.
Expect their next move to be censoring the games deemed "too masculine" for their feelings...
Apparently Apple is infected with the fact resistance virus.
There are rumors that Amazon will ban books with confederate images on their covers, too.
Amazon is now off my list of acceptable on-line vendors.
Apple hasn't made anything worth buying for me yet.
CNN’s MJ Lee, who started questioning online retailers about the flag, announced on Twitter that Amazon had decided to pull the merchandise after multiple requests for comment about the issue.
Amazon spokesperson now confirms that the company will pull Confederate flag merchandise.

It does take time for the wheels of dictatorship to roll over all the vendors on Amazon.
(Amazon probably doesn't want to pay any extra wages for this stupid politically correct BS, but they claim they are doing it.)

When will the White House fly the GLBT flag, or is it LBGT, I don't know, it's all getting pretty sick anymore, all this nonsense.
