    Their problem of "racism" in America is that they can't stampede enough people into becoming obsessed with race and unearned guilt as an excuse for anything the left wants.

    They will ban that as a hate crime after they discover it. If someone tries to behead you for wearing a politically incorrect T-shirt like that it will be excused because you are "provoking" them. Meanwhile the Gadsden rattlesnake flag often used by hated Tea Partiers is more likely to become a target as the left seeks manufactured crises to distract attention away from their own abuse. Nothing in the world is as important as their latest politically correct fad to be beat into the populace.

    How about ISIS flags and videos of Islamic beheadings with the accompanying sacred text? Isn't that more important than leftist race obsession? But the lemmings had to move all at once in lock-step in a non-response to a brutal murder having nothing to do with it just because the sanctimonious leftist propaganda demanded it..

    Folks, its time. You've seen the Ragnar Danneskjold T-shirts. You've wanted them (I bought one). Now it is time for a real rebel flag: The Ragnar Danneskjold flag. Anyone who wants to make it standard size and modeled after the zazzle.com T-shirts, I will pay $180 for one.

    Long as they don't remove Fuji's from the green grocer section. Next thing Bank Americas will be advertising a matching fund raiser.

    No more rebel flags, huh? I guess that solves the problem of racism in America once and for all!

    That was the first thing I thought. Don't you have to pull anything with a swastika to be consistent?

    Although it is from a source of questionable veracity (that is, CNN):

    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.)

    The news reported that ebay and Amazon stopped selling flags but they're still there....so not sure where they got that.

    Amazon allows Nazi paraphernalia but not confederate.
    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.
