Is the cross the next target of liberals and blacks ?

[DigitalDrifter]

First off, yes I realize the Confederate flag issue has mostly to do with the location of where it is flown. The flag will still be flown on private property.
But let's face it, the very sight of it regardless of the location is frowned upon, and eventually due to pressure, it will completely disappear.

So what about the cross ? It's not supposed to be displayed on publicly owned spaces, government buildings, etc.

However, since the cross has a long history of being used to terrorize blacks, and is used as a symbol of the KKK, are we now headed for the day where the cross itself will be viewed as a racist symbol, and there will be calls for it to not be seen anywhere in public ?

Might sound ridiculous, but we all know how the left feels about Christianity, and they could use the racial aspect of this to rid the American landscape of this classic Christian symbol.

Right Wing Christians have used the burning cross to inspire fear and terror. But there are good Christians. However, many right wingers in this country have warped that religion into something unrecognizable. In this country, when you think of right wing Christians, you think of discrimination, hate, violence, let hem die, feed the poor and they will breed, cutting school lunches for poor children and so on. If they truly believe in Jesus, they will have a lot of explaining to do.

The difference, the rebel battle flag represents a whole bunch of brave men who were sold the idea that they should charge into canister fire to protect the white democrat rich aristocrat's way of life.

The cross has always been a symbol of sacrifice. How it is used by the KKK can't be helped nor should their hate tarnish the cross.

Every map with intersections would have to go.

The cross is a racist type symbol. 'If not Christian you need to convert' defines Christianity.

Don't think it can't happen.

The cross? That icon of idolatry that people pray to?

No one will be allowed to speak "cross words" to each other

So if it is a racist symbol, isn't it your duty to call for it to be removed from view anywhere ?

"Might sound ridiculous" Congrats on the largest possible understatement. Utterly ridiculous. Especially considering that African Americans are far more religious than white Americans, attend church in greater numbers and have proven to be better Christian than many of their white brethren.

The First Amendment does not allow for that....Government Buildings , offices and other public spaces like parks etc are different though.....its is proper that those spaces be free of such divisive symbols.......
