18. The rage is hilarious

Amazon and eBay have removed the flag, NASCAR is supporting the movement in SC to remove the flag, and there are some VERY angry people around me right now -- I live in the Deep South -- and it's highly amusing. Right now they're planning on boycotting Amazon and eBay, and a couple of hardcore NASCAR fans are claiming they've watched their last ever race.

How funny that Roof wanted to start a race war, and all he's managed to do is help ramp up the war against racism.
