I just emailed Amazon Customer Service and asked why they continue to sell Confederate flags.......

I would suggest you do the same.

If tey get enough questions about it they might make a change.

1. Why?

Why wouldn't you want those who wish to fly confederate flags to be able to do just that? If they can't, there's no way for you to know who wishes to fly a confederate flag....

2. To me, someone who drives around with a Confederate flag is flashing a giant warning light

that says "Avoid me at all costs"

[davidn3600]

3. There will always be someone willing to produce and sell those flags

Even if they get it from China.

4. Should re-enactments of Civil War battles be permitted?

If so, should it be possible for participants to purchase Confederate battle flags?

[Logical]

5. Go read some of the comments and tell me think that's what they're doing . Nt

10. Reenactments of the 9th SS Viking Division's battles in Normandy are done in Germany once a year and

Reenactments of the 9th SS Viking Division's battles in Normandy are done in Germany once a year and yet lack a swatiska. So...?

[Logical]

6. Sounds like they might do it! nt

7. CNN just said they stopped

8. Amazon's policy is to sell pretty much anything that is legal to sell.

As long as they remain so open to selling any type of good without restraint, I have to oppose this effort because if you prevail it will likely result in all sorts of yahoos working to get everything from sex-education manuals, condoms, sex-toys and lube to "banned" books, R-rated movies, religious materials of non-mainstream creeds and any other content someone deems offensive pulled from the site.

I favor an open marketplace for the sale of legal (but offensive) goods as long as all such goods are treated equally.

[Logical]

9. Amazon is stopping it, and you are wrong IMO. nt

[Chan790]

11. Their prerogative.

And what am I wrong about, that there will now be a sustained effort by every flavor of extremist to have content they find offensive pulled from Amazon? I'm not...they've tried before and the "we won't censor objectionable content" was what Amazon relied on to rebuff those efforts.

I see this as a bad thing.

[tkmorris]

13. FWIW I agree with you

I despise that flag and all it stands for but this is bad precedent.

[Logical]

15. There are 100s of things they dont sell, like a KKK hood! Get real! Nt

[Logical]

14. Lol, go look for a kkk hood and get back to me! Nt

16. They stopped listing a White Pride Flag after I and other DUers complained

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002678583

Their policy then was

"Products that promote or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual or religious intolerance or promote organizations with such views " are prohibited on Amazon.
