Jay-Z and Beyonce Attempts To Buy Rights To Confederate Flag To Prevent Further Use

NEW YORK (NEWSWATCH33.COM) – Since the aftermath of the horrific shooting that occurred in Charleston, South Carolina involving Dylann Roof, many have protested the use of the Confederate flag after photos were shown of Roof parading the flag in photos he had taken prior to the incident.

According to Ralph Hammerstein, an attorney representing Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Beyonce Knowles-Carter, the couple is attempting to purchase rights to the Confederate flag to prevent further use of the flag on merchandise. According to Hammerstein, the couple is “in the works” of purchasing all resell rights to the confederate flag.

“My clients are adamant about purchasing the rights to the Rebel Confederate flag. They have expressed deep concern regarding the flag and how it is tearing apart our nation. Mr. and Mrs. Carter wants to assist in the abolishment of the flag by purchasing the resell rights to the Confederate flag. If my clients are successful, purchasing the rights would mean that anyone who wants to produce merchandise using the Confederate flag would have to get permission from Mr. and Mrs. Carter. My clients have expressed that they are not looking to profit from the use of the flag but rather prevent any further use of the flag on merchandise,” according to Hammerstein.

Further information indicates that the cost of purchasing the rights is expected to be close to $280 Million. The cost of the flag wouldn’t hurt the finances of the couple given their combined net worth of $1 Billion, making them the highest grossing couple in entertainment. If Jay-Z and Beyonce are successful, they would be the first African-American couple to own rights to the Confederate flag.

            Getting shot is rare because the people in your “community” are the ones committing mass shootings

            Crime statistics in Chicago say hi!

          • digigenocide2

            Take every mass shooting committed by whites from the passed 10 year and add them up. That number is less than half of Chicago’s annual murder rate. Also why is it that when a white guy shoots 9 people, he’s a mass shooter, but when a black guy does it, its just a shooting? There was two mass shootings that week Roof killed 9 people. Just a few days later a black man shot 10 people at a BBQ, but for some reason he’s not a mass shooter.

      • Shawn

        Maybe you just need a hug…

        special-education probably isnt the best insult to use because there are actual special-ed students who are very intelligent and can comprehend that racism is fucked up much better than some of the racist apologists in this comments section.

        • iRejectSlimHoes

          right! lol

      You do a very good job of exemplifying why it’s a good idea to prevent this flag from being used and furthering the mindsets that support it.

        Don’t send that person here! There plenty of unchartered islands on the planet.

    • Meagan Henderson

      Just to let you know your very ignorant people of color are not all from Africa. I am a us citizen and never been to Africa. So you can’t send somebody back where they didn’t come from only ancestors. It’s time to give it up on the racism. I bet you research your family tree and then tell me how many of your ancestors are from African decent. Everybody has a little something in them nobody’s pure anything anymore. So do your research before you make ignorant comments.

      God Bless Free Market Jesus America, right?

      • jim

        no he can’t. The confederate flag cannot be copyrighted, actually no flag can get a copyright. You can trademark it, but the flag is in public domain so can’t do that either.

        • Gonzobot

          But you can’t produce or sell anything with that iconography on it once the rights are asserted and reserved by the owners. They can sue anybody who does, because that’s the law. And all the power to them – finally, rich morons doing something stupid that is also helpful to the species!

      It can if you live in America.

    • Anne

      Not everything, no. Copyrights and business rights can. It’s a smart move so get over it. Limiting the use of the Confederate flag doesn’t infringe on your right of speech, you still have every opportunity to use racist discourse. Sadly.

    • JoseAmerica

      Yes. It can.

    • forgivemyfandoms

      It appears you have been under the protection of ignorance for too long. Everything can be bought from the people who are powerful enough. Even your own life can be bought from a multi-billionaire who has never met you (though I suspect it won’t be worth much), and who the world has never heard of. This whole world run on 30 or so people who control every economy there is. It is a hard concept to grasp, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Every “change” that may occur in society is just a clever move played by a businessman to one of his rivals. And no one may ever know.

      So get over it, because the world isn’t as “free” as you think.

    And who is entitled to the $280 million the rights are supposed to cost? I very much doubt any public or private party can prove ownership of the flag. The whole idea is so crazy-stupid that I’m guessing it’s a publicity stunt designed by a creative but whacky p.r. team.

  • Starreh

    It’s funny that the Confederate flag is legal in the U.S. While the Nazi flag is illegal in Germany. Both signify something horrible. Yet only Germany is ashamed of their “heritage.” The Confederate flag signifies hatred, slavery, and racism. That’s the heritage you’re defending.

    • digigenocide2

      Why should we be racist towards blacks. Black people don’t like white people. Why should we like them. Black kill twice as many whites. Blacks account for the majority of robbery in this country.

      • akezar

        Let’s play a game of “Find the Racist”. Oh look, here’s one already!

        In all seriousness, 1) two wrongs don’t make a right, 2) black people aren’t inherently evil. The reason why the homicide and criminal rates are so high in the black community is because they are still facing racism and prejudice across the nation. Most have no choice or don’t know better.

        • jim

          Omg i hope most people arent as dumb as you

        • JohnHousecat

          “Most have no choice or -don’t know better-.”

          Wow, way to patronize a significant race of people within the United States.

          All humans have a choice on whether to act like a fool or not. Most black people in the United States are aware that we have a guy sitting in the White House who is supposed to be a positive role model for them, yet they still choose to act like it’s 1815/not 2015.

          No one is keeping them from “knowing better” in 2015. If they don’t “know better” than to commit murders and crimes, then it’s on them.

          • wadup

            Commit crimes…like when tamir rice was holding a toy gun and shot…or when freddie gray ran from the police in fear (according to close sources, he was prone to being beat by the police for no reason) they arrested him, beat him with batons, and repeatedly choked him whilst witnesses say he could no longer breathe, or when the police got provoked by michael brown for not immediately walking on the sidewalk and shot him twice whilst unarmed. Oh, and the endless list of black people wrongly killed by police It’s all good though, right? https://abagond.wordpress.com/2014/08/26/a-list-of-unarmed-blacks-killed-by-police/

            And somehow several black methodical churches “supposedly’ burned down in the same time frame. What??

            You’re an idiot, that is all.

          • wadup

            I’m an idiot for thinking it’s unjust for law enforcement, a service run for the sole purpose of protecting its citizens, killing innocent citizens on the grounds of racism?

          • Kenyatta Sinclair

            You can’t go to an idiots level because they will always win….you have VERY VALID FACTS but when people are raised and trained in a certain way they tend to believe how they were taught.
            Keep fighting the fight but please don’t waste your time arguing with these bigots who no matter what fact you put in front of them they feel you are wrong, you’re black so you are to dumb to know what you’re talking about.

          • wadup

            I’m not exactly sure how to respond to your comment. You are right in saying I’ve encountered numerous deluded bigots that continue to be adamant no matter what facts i throw at them. I’m actually asian, but regardless of my race, i know what i’m talking about.

          • digigenocide2

            If you know what you’re talking about why do you keep screwing up the details of the Brown case?

          • digigenocide2

            Could you point out those “very valid facts”. I’m interested in seeing those

          • Kenyatta Sinclair

            You are an idiot and very uneducated. …

          • digigenocide2

            It’s a simple request. You made the claim that wadup had “VERY VALID FACTS”. You cap locked it and everything. I’m just wondering what facts were stated other than the FBI stats I linked above.

          • Kenyatta Sinclair

            The facts are in front of your naive racist face.
            I don’t stoop to the level of racist rhetoric, have a conversation with your mirror. It will always agree with your rhetoric.

          • digigenocide2

            Really, right in front of my face? That’s weird cause I have the FBI and the DOJ stats in front of me and they seem to be telling a different story. I get it though. It’s easier to blame others instead of blaming yourself. Maybe I’m not the one who should be looking in the mirror.

          • mikefuhre

            Dude, jesus Christ. Way more white people are killed by cops than blacks and blacks commit way more crimes against whites than whites against blacks.

            Your argument is invalid.

          • wadup

            That sounded like statistics that you pulled out randomly. At least in my comment I referred you to actual victims that have been unjustifiably killed by the police. You can search it up if you don’t believe me. Your argument is nothing without substantiating evidence.

          • digigenocide2

            FBI crime statistics, table 43. Educate yourself.

            Blacks only make up 13% of the population, yet they represent over 50% of murder and robbery arrests. And black people kill twice as many whites than whites kill blacks.

          • ahva

            Hands up don’t shoot.. . You forgot one. The Divider and Chief is pushing communities apart. And there is an Easy fix. Don’t get arrested.Don’t do things that will get you arrested..and if by chance your stopped and have done nothing… Do Not Fight. Respect for authority is needed. It needs to be taught. And then FIX the damn training and screening process for being a cop. Its not a “new” problem.We had the same thing in the 50’s and 60’s.On white and black with too much force. NEWER TRAINING.. BETTER SCREENING FOR CHARACTER OF POLICE.

          • digigenocide2

            You didn’t even bother to look over the Mike Brown case, did you? Let’s just ignore Brown robbing a store, assaulting the clerk, punching a cop, and attempting to take his firearm. Because none of that matters apparently.

          • wadup

            Okay, so petty theft and violence justifies a fully trained cop to kill him? You really think that just because michael brown did all of that, he’s liable to being murdered? Remember when a white guy massacred 12 people in a theatre, injured 70 and was taken into custody alive? And he was shot several times, way after he was dead. Now, don’t you think thats unnecessary for self defense? And a lot of witnesses say that Mike brown was actually running away. But it’s still an unresolved case. Is that all you’ve got? What do you have to say to that, with indubitable evidence on the murder of unarmed tamir rice, and freddie gray?

          • digigenocide2

            Yes, attacking a cop is justification for the cop to kill the attacker. Just like Someone attacking you is justification for you to kill that person. Cops have every right to defend themselves. And yes, their were witness who claimed they saw something that didn’t happen. Black people are prone to lying in order to defend a black male over a white cop. Mainly because black people don’t like white people. Look up “Bronx Jury”. Black people will defend the most violent criminals as long as they’re black. Those same witnesses claimed the cop was some how able to choke out a 6’4 nearly 300lbs man with is left hand while sitting down. Does that seem possible to you? Also black people aren’t ever taken alive? 1 in 9 black males is currently sitting in a jail cell so it seems like most of them aren’t getting killed by police. And do yourself a favor, look up the arrest pictures of the DC sniper. Black teenager arrest for mass shooting white people and he was peaceful apprehended
            Mainly because he didn’t attempt to kill a cop. But please continue to defend cop killers and defend thugs. I’m sure the next time you need help those thugs will be right there for you.

          • wadup

            No, it isnt. Because cops are trained to fight and defend themselves. White people are also prone to lying in order to defend a white crop over a black male. Mainly because white people don’t like black people. For example, you, ferguson police department, and fox news. If this argument were to ever get deeper, ill dig and link you to several sources just give me time to research. The statistic isnt in how many black people are taken alive, the statistic relies on the amount of black people not taken alive, and for the most ludicrous reasons. For example, apparently, michael brown stole cigarettes. Which was worth his life? Looked up DC sniper, that’s horrible, but doesn’t really speak for michael brown running for his life with his hands up in the air but still being shot because the cop felt threatened rather than doing his job and apprehending him. Using these terrible black crimes to compare to terrible white crimes isn’t good enough because cases like michael brown and freddie gray defies it. Don’t equate these criminal cases to what happened to cases of innocent black people.

          • wadup

            Please continue to defend cops, fully trained to provide safety for citizens, killing people on a daily basis. http://killedbypolice.net/

            I’m just saying that your upbringing defines your entire morale, and because of widespread racism and prejudice, corrupted morales are naturally passed down from parent to child because nobody cares enough to intervene until it’s a problem. I only say this because some people are under the impression delinquency is genetic.

        • https://MindSpaceApocalypse.wordpress.com OverkillMSA

          Yes, cause you’re not allowed to have an opinion that doesn’t fit in with the rest or you’re racist even if it’s simply facts. Educate yourself instead or getting your ideals from TV and what others are saying.

          NWO sheeple make me sick, division is what they want. If every came together it would be their worst nightmare. Too sad it will NEVER happen, way too many idiots nows. We (humans) have failed as species and our end is coming, could’ve easily been avoided but too many blind followers and brainwashed morons so we lost. Game Over, just sit back and watch as the waves of corruption erode the rights and lives of all us until it’s all washed away as nostalgic rubble in a sea of evil

          • mary

            Not as long as Al Sharpton has a voice, he’s promoting this racist war, he wants us divided just like Obama. Until we ignore there lies and come together as one Nation, it’ll never happen. Nows the time for us to stand together in unity under one nation to fix what’s been destroyed.

          Most blacks are killed by other blacks. Unless you are saying black people are racist against themselves.

            Your comment is 100% irrelevant. Not even close to what I was talking about. This is what I get for using words with more than two syllables…

            So black people robbing, raping and murdering their own is “100% irrelevant”? The black community is tearing out it’s own throat and that is “100% irrelevant”?

            I did think for a second you actually cared about black people. Instead, your one of the ones creating the institution to keep them down.

            Like crabs in a bucket. You believe in tearing down some one else in order to pull yourself up. In the end, you stay right where you were put.

        • digigenocide2

          I never said black people are inherently evil, just making a point. If a group of people celebrate, laugh, and cheer when they violently attack and kill your people, why should we like and defend them? And really, you’re really gonna chalk up the insane homicide rates committed by black males is caused by racism and prejudice? That’s too cute. Yeah, it has nothing to do with the fact that most black men don’t have a positive role model in there life. It had nothing to do with the fact that their raised by entitled women who are to dumb to realize you shouldn’t have more kids if you can’t support the ones you already have. And I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that black subculture glorifies and celebrated criminals while demonizing the police and the “snitches” who are trying to remove dangerous people from society. No, racism is the reason kids kill each other for a pair of shoes

          • Kenyatta Sinclair

            Look in the mirror my friend because every thing that you just defined is what your people have done to blacks (celebrate, laugh and cheer as they killed black people)

          • digigenocide2

            And exactly how often does that happen in the US. You guys have like 3 examples of white on black violence, yet black on white violence, black on Asian violence, black on gay violence, black on middle eastern violence, and black on Jew violence is a daily occurrence in every city. And you really wanna claim you have it bad in white countries? Name one other race that would put up with the problems primarily caused by your people.

          • Kenyatta Sinclair

            Your people seem to be the cause to every races problem, you seem to think you’re better than every race.

          • digigenocide2

            I never said I was better than every race. Just blacks. Asians, latinos, middle eastern people all contribute. Personally i wish we could deport blacks to mexico and keep the illegals. Theyre hard working and family oriented. Not blacks though. Y’all are essentially just parasites leeching off every body else. Either through robbery or government benefits. Also the problems that people like me have become. That’s rich. Yeah, calling a group out on their BS is sooo much worse than what people like you are doing, namely robbing and murdering people .

          Black people sold their own into slavery. Their have been slaves of all races over the centuries in other countries. Me and my ancestors never had slaves, so don’t blame me.

          Black ppl owned slaves, including the Obamas, it’s not only white ppl.

          • areyouforreal

            don’t try to excuse yourself and pin the blame on other people. all slave owners were wrong but you probably know damn well the vast majority of them in the u.s. were white.
            there were slaves in africa too who were sold to americans by other africans but they weren’t aware they would be treated like livestock, publicly beaten and hanged as entertainment for white people. slaves in africa were allowed to eventually get out of slavery through work and payment and have a family, like actual human beings.

          • timothy c sullivan

            just so you know all the american plains Indian tribes were mayor slaveholders and most of their slaves were white women who they bought and sold and traded like horses so they’re plenty of blame to pass around no need to keep blaming all white people for slavery because that is real racism my family didn’t get here until the 1920 to escapes from the black and tans who were terrorising my people

          • digigenocide2

            Yes, the majority of slave owners in the US were white. The US population is mainly white so that makes sense. Most slave owners in Africa are black But why does that give them a free pass to murder, rape, and rob our people?

          • missveryvery

            They don’t you’re just a brainwashed idiot. The VAST majority of crimes are committed against people of the same race as the perpetrator.

          • digigenocide2

            You know, if you’re gonna call someone an idiot, you should at least read the comment first. No where in the comment above did I say the vast majority of crimes are black on white. I said why does slavery over 100 years ago give black people a free pass to rape, rob, and murder white people? Since you want to jump in the convo so bad, answer my question. Why are black on white crimes downplayed but the rare white on black crimes play on the news in a loop? Why is it worse for a white cop to shoot a black man attacking him than it is for a black cop to shoot an unarmed naked 18 year old? I’m sure you never even heard that story.

          black people were not the only race that were slaves there has been slaves of all different colors i think you all are bunch of a holes

        • Confederate justice

          No, black folk actually enslaved themselves, if you look back in history the African people stole other tribe members and sold them to other tribes. Eventually they shipped their own people to the usa, the white plantation owners needed the help with their farms and purchased the black folk. But yes some plantation owners were awful to their help but ALOT of plantation owners actually help the black kids read and write. A lot of southerns loved their black folks But of course people only wanna see the bad in everything and never see any good just so they can have their way. We have become a crappie nation.

        mmmmm… Just confused, if a jewish person (especially recently after and during WW II) hated germany and german people would you also disagree?

        • wadup

          What you dont understand is that it’s this attitude that makes black people hate you, you still believe that racism is fully abolished just because slavery is illegal now. Germans are openly and evidently ashamed of their heritage and apologise profusely. Im not talking about the general populace, but a majority of white people i have seen on the internet perpetuate black stereotypes and discrimination against them. Not even on the internet, but also law enforcement. Have you seen the total casualties for wrongly convicted black people that were killed by police for petty theft, or for even holding a TOY gun. Please research the amount of black people that have been killed for completely unjustified reasons. It’s this imperious attitude that some of you have and so righteously believe that black people have it better than whites and that we shouldn’t like them. Sorry they act like prejudiced assholes but at least your race doesn’t run under a systematically oppressed justice system.

          • violetflora

            I’m not sure if you weren’t replying to me but I think black people should and have a right to hate white people and the reason I included the note about during and just after WW II was because I think racism is still going on and killing black people. I was trying to point out that Jewish people were persecuted by nazis and thus pretty much anyone would be fine with a Jewish person hating nazis/ Germans in the aftermath of the holocaust and thus people should be fine with black people hating their persecutors. A dog bites a human, people don’t blame them for being afraid of dogs.

          • digigenocide2

            Yes, but what your conveniently leaving out is the fact that the blacks that are perpetrating most of these racially motivated crimes never experienced Jim Crow or slavery. Furthermore why don’t white people who are attacked by blacks allowed to hate black people?

          • wadup

            Hi violetflora, Sorry your comment took a turn and I thought you were conjuring up an argument that to hate every race for past hate crimes (e.g. mass genocide) is ridiculous. I thought you were arguing for the other side. Personally, the holocaust was a totally inhumane horrible event but how common is it, as of now, that Jewish people are experiencing hate crimes and oppressive discrimination? (as opposed to how often black people are experiencing them). I don’t exactly agree with your argument but I’m glad you aren’t turning a blind eye to racism today.

          • violetflora

            I don’t think you realize that in Europe the antisemitism is rampant and causing shootings and vandalism and no one is noticing. I think the thing you are missing is that people thinking antisemitism is over is where the real parallel to racial tensions in America begins.

            As for the person after this – I black people are being killed by police at higher rates than during the lynchings and are being mass murdered in churches and having their churches burned down. The major difference is people during the slavery and the lynchings didn’t deny that they were treating people terribly, now they pretend that racism is over yet black people are still mad. It isn’t over. It’s still just as bad as before, you’re just ignoring it.

          • wadup

            That’s horrible and it’s disheartening to see that it isnt on the news as much. Please link me to sources so i can read more about the prevalent antisemitism.

          • digigenocide2

            You’re and idiot. Your race isn’t persecuted because people stereotype you. You’re persecuted because your people make up a disproportionate amount of crime. Over 50% of murder, over 50% of robberies, 30% of burglary. Black people are disproportionatly represented in every crime except DUI. Literally every country that has a black population larger than 10% is crime-ridden crap hole. Maybe if your people ever become civilised and stop acting like feral animals, maybe people will actually respect you.

          • wadup

            Source? I’m not black, i’m asian. Please refer back to my comment again, research and peruse the cases of black people being unjustifiably killed by law enforcement. For example, michael brown, tamir rice, freddie gray, etc much more. Maybe if white policemen become civilised and stop acting like savaged brutes, maybe people will actually respect them.

          • digigenocide2

            Really, Mike Brown was unjustly killed. Yeah, f#ck reading the actual DOJ report, lets listen to the angry mob instead.

          • wadup

            I was really excited to hear your side of the argument once i finally received a notification via my email. Only to be disappointed, (that was expected) Yeah, he was unjustly killed. I literally stated why. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. I’m speaking of this from multiple reports. Angry mob? You think he should’ve been shot multiple times for self defense whilst white serial killers are somehow taken into custody alive? Still no comment on the other inhumane crimes, still not a good enough argument to side with white cops. Yeah, i sent you a link to a tumblr source, but if you actually read it the article isn’t significantly more prejudiced on white people, what is stating is fact. Just because of it’s politically correct atmosphere – doesn’t mean you should just pass it off as invalid. There’s a reason for its SJW culture, because it actually states the truth and invalidates the mirage that black people commit more crime. Giving a damn about each of the influences of the crimes committed is important, because it erases your argument that you think people commit these crimes because they’re black and not because the lack of privileges they have. You continue to be adamant and ignorant, and that’s fine with me. All your argument clearly suggests is you hate black people and you are inarguably racist. Congratulations. I’m assuming your statement regarding that women are more likely to commit domestic violence is just a normative statement rather than factual (e.g. no statistics) so you can’t pull up that statistic bull on me that we should fight against blacks because they commit more crimes and are incarcerated way more often than white people, supposedly as women are less likely to be incarcerated than men. Your replies consisted of you self-doubting my sources rather than checking into it and just you patronising me. “Aw, that’s cute.”

          • digigenocide2

            Your “multiple reports” were all from sources telling you what you want to hear. Gawker, Tumblr, freaking “Freethought” blog. Every single one of those sources are bias garbage. Jesabel, a gwaker affiliate demonized the hackers who leaked photos of Jennifer Lawrence naked yet gawker hosted the Hulk Hogan sex tape and refused to take it down even after a court order. Is that not bias? Freethought blog is called freethought blog, yet they booted Thunderf00t when he tore down Rebecca Watson’s Elevator gate BS. And freethough blog specifically told their contributors that it was OK to go after the arguments of fellow contributors. Is that not bias? And as for tumblr, just visit the Tumblr in Action subreddit and youll see first hand why i have a problem with that site.

            the Tumblr link attempted to dance around the actual stats. Yes, most whites kill whites and most blacks kill black. But black people make up a significantly smaller segment of the american population. So they do kill more per capita. Id also like to add that the FBI stats label Hispanics as white. So white crime plus Hispanic crime combined is still less than black crime. Yet blacks only represent 30% of police related death.

            Again, black serial killers are taken into custody peacefully too when they’re not stupid enough to attack the police. I even gave you an example of a killer specifically killing white people and the white police treated him the same as Roof. But of course your gonna ignore that because it doesn’t fit your programming.

            I’ve never denied being racist. I fully admit I don’t like black people and I’ve fully explained why everyone should dislike black people too. Personally, im proud that ive been able to break the programming. I was just like you in my early 20’s. I fully believed that blacks were unfairly targeted by police. Then I realized that blacks are the vast majority of crime.

            Stats on domestic violence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_against_men

            http://www.theguardian.com/comc-violence-menfeminism-domestic-violq-violence-menfeminism-domestic-violence

            Literally took me 1 minute to find. Now factor in the fact that most men will not report a woman for assaulting them and you have your over 50% figure. But theres an easy test you can do yourself to prove that most domestic violence isnt caused mainly by men. Go to every male friend you have and ask them if theyve ever been hit out of anger by a partner. Then do the same for your female friends. Most men have been attacked while most women havent. Hell, ive been smacked for turning down my ex-girlfriends advances. I worked a 14 hour day and just wanted to sleep, but i was slapped for not giving her sex. Now when a man does this, its domestic violence. when a woman does it, its a cute story.

            And yes, Im patronizing you. Mainly because you’re an early 20’s SJW who believes they know how the world works despite the fact that youve probably never really been out in the world. You’re sitting here trying to lecture me about the Mike Brown case, yet you dont know anything about the case. I actually read all 86 pages of the report, have you. Youre trying to claim that police shootings are because of racism while you ignore the fact that police kill twice as many whites as they do blacks. Look at the crime stats. Black males ages 15 to 35 commit the most crime. Its not a coincidence that this group is sometimes shot by police. Furthermore, if all these cops are racist, why do they opt to work in predominately black neighborhoods. Im racist, so I avoid black people. I sure as hell wouldnt take a job that requires me to stop them or associate with them.

          • wadup

            If you’re going over source bias, I’m not going to click on a wikipedia article. Literally anyone that has access to the website, can edit it, e.g. racists like you. Went over the guardian website, 404 not found. I’m not in my 20s actually, i’m 15. Patronize me harder. The reach is so hard when you try to invalidate sources, that clearly and evidently show vehement cases of racism, especially caused by the police even with unarguable evidence. I’m going to pull a digigenocide2, and invalidate all your sources by stating random, scandalous events that also happened on that website. I no longer believe it’s worth arguing with you because i can give you several links and one by one you’ll go spend hours searching for a biased article from the same website circa 2006 and say “wait but this happened so…biased garbage!”. I’m sorry (not really) to hear about your misfortunate situations with women, but just because, apparently, a lot of your male friends are mistreated, does not mean that type of domestic abuse applies to the general populace. I don’t take from your experiences as a firsthand source because I think you’re biased. Hopefully, since you used theguardian as well, you’ll take this source into consideration, your highness. Ya guessed it, police kill more minorities than whites. This is also very recent, june 2015.

            http://www.theguardian.com/us-

            You still decide to ignore a black kid being killed for having a toy gun. You still decide to ignore the man who was asphyxiated to death despite shouting “I can’t breathe”. Yeah i’ll admit, I source and say things to manipulate my “programming” as do you, except my links are only one of the many sources proving it. Dodging all my sources and thinking that stats alone are sufficient enough to put up an argument, I’m out. Don’t expect me to reply back. Have fun in your prejudice.

          • digigenocide2

            O, so you’re 15. Thank you for confirming my assumption that you’ve never actually been out in the world. Spend some time in a black neighborhood and you’ll grow to dislike them too. Do you think I’m somehow offended by being called a racist. It’s funny, when I say I don’t like black people, I’m a terrible person, yet black preachers, black local government officials, and black leaders say they hate whites all the time, yet you libs never have a problem with it. Seems like you’re not against racism, you just believe it should be directed only towards certain groups and by certain groups.

            Wait, so you have a problem with wikipedia, even though every claim had a cited source yet you link tumblr pages which are fully controlled by one person with no sources? Do you not see that as a wee bit hypocritically.

            Police do not kill more blacks than whites. According to the DOJ between 1980 and 2010, police shot roughly 2 white men for every black man. Given that black men make up 50% of violent crime, police shootings should be roughly 50/50.

            I didn’t ignore a the kid being shot because of a BB gun. It’s a sad event, but that kind of thing I’d not limited to just black kids. Several kids have been shot when police mistake a BB gun for a real gun. That’s why they typically are colored a different color or they have an orange tip. That’s not a case of racism, its a case of poor judgment. And dude that got choked out was, again, resisting arrest. He’s almost 400lbs and in poor health. What the hell was he thinking resisting arrest. Did he think it was gonna work out for him? Furthermore, what was the cop supposed to do? He had to arrest Garner. Garner was fighting back, so the cop put him in a head lock. Everyone says “I can’t breath” when they’re in a head lock. If you let go, they usually hit you. The fact of the matter is Eric Garner would probably be alive today had he cooperated.

            No see, your sources don’t prove anything. All they do is add a spin to the story. Trying to claim black men are shot more because they make up around 30% of shootings while only being 13% of the population but ignoring the fact that blacks are 50% of violent crime and disregarding the fact that those figured include justifiable homicide. Assuming black criminals are treated worse than white criminals while ignoring the clear proof that police tend to not assault suspects when they don’t assault them. Claiming that all 80 witnesses to the Brown shooting actually saw the shooting so assuming the most popular story is the correct one while ignoring forensic evidence that pokes holes in the popular narrative. Then attempting to justify black violence with stuff like “white privilege” and systematic racism. I basically just sumed up and obliterated every one of the narratives that your sources tried to push. It’s called objective thinking, try it sometime.

            Well, sad to see you go. Had so much fun talking with a typical talking head. Just remember, you’re defending and justifying the actions of the very people who are victimizing your people.

          • wadup

            I won’t need to remember that because I’m privileged enough not to get shot even with my hands up. It’s only black people that need to be wary. Check this: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/newly-released-witness-testimony-tell-us-michael-brown-shooting/

          • digigenocide2

            Not getting shot by police is not privilege. The reason Asians don’t need to fear the police is because Asians make up a very small portion of crime. You call it privilege, I call it not f#ck$ng up.

            Do you have one unbiased source? I mean, you’ve posted links to Tumblr (SJW breeding ground), gawker (basically tumblr), freethoughtblog(Atheism+ ), and PBS.

            And what exactly makes you regard the PBS article as truth and the DOJ report as lies? The DOJ is blacker than PBS. Think maybe it might be confirmation bias?

          • wadup

            Not getting shot by police is a privilege because a majority of black people are more likely to experience being pulled over or targeted by police despite them exposing no harm, its just pure racism. If you’re referring to one black individual that exposed a threat, you may be making a point.

          • digigenocide2

            Black people are more likely to be pulled over due to the fact that blacks cause more crime. Maybe if black people didn’t cause a wildly disproportionate amount of crime, they’d enjoy that “privilege” too. 1 in 3 black males will spend time in prison. 1 in 9 black males ages 15 to 34 are currently in a cell. Don’t you think this might be a factor to why black people get “hassled” by the police.

          • wadup

            Back again. I decided to do some research on the overrepresentation of black people largely contributing to crime. Instead of reciting facts and the same argument, i’m going to link you to this article: http://racismschool.tumblr.com/post/22683535699/black-on-black-crime

            It thoroughly explains the use of statistics to enforce the optical notion behind the “black people are more likely to be criminals” mantra. If you reply with no regards to the link i gave you, no way are you right to call out black people as being uncivilised. Wonder why a lot of black regions are “crime ridden crap holes”? The statistics you may hurl at me may be true, but they do not discuss the distinction and influences of one of each. They overlook the statistics that the perpetrators are likely to have less financial stability, have less education, have a poor upbringing. Just because they’re all categorized to be black, does not mean we should be indoctrinated into believing that, “oh he’s a criminal because he’s black!” and all of that side, just because a black person is more likely to be a criminal, just how statistics say a man is more likely to be a domestic abuser, does not mean that every black individual you see should be stripped of their rights and disrespect. Same thing goes with men.

          • digigenocide2

            You linked a tumblr page. That’s too cute. If tumblr is a reliable source to you, I kinda feel bad. It’s kinda like I’m picking on the special needs kid. Tumblr is just a circle jerk of SJWs.

            I don’t give a damn what the cause of the ridiculously disproportionate crime rate in blacks, and neither should you. If you’re getting your head stomped in by a pack of thugs, I’m sure the last thing on your mind is gonna be “what’s their home life like”. Also men aren’t the primary perpetrators of domestic violence. Maybe if you had better sources than f#ck%ng tumblr, you’d know that. Women are actually far more likely to perpetrate domestic violence, they’re just less likely to be arrested for it. Similar to the way black people commit way more racially motivated crimes yet white people are more likely to be accused of a hate crime

I’ve never seen Jews break into wealthy German homes, kill the mother, father, 10 year old son, and the house keeper , set them of fire, then order a pizza. I’ve never seem a Jewish community celebrate the murder of a cop because they thought he was German then express remorse when they found out the cop was a Jew.

      If you knew the real reason there was a Civil War then you’d understand. Slavery was used by both sides and the North way before the south. THe north wanted to charge 70% taxes on exports from the south. So the same reason the colonist came here from England was taxing. The south said no. A united states being united it means all states voluntary unite to make it. Nothing voluntary about the north trying to make the south stay when they wanted to leave when the north was created from the reason of taxation. Did you know NY,Mass wanted to succeed too. But when it can time to vote on it the US put armed guards at the ballots and arrested anyone trying to vote.? Sounds like the North had become what they left England to get away from. And the south realized it and wanted out.

      Seriously this topic is crazy to me. So Ole Miss may have dropped the confederate flag, but they still are the Rebels. Do you think there is southern uprising brewing at the university? No there is not. Its just a name and just a flag. It has only as much power behind it as you allow it to have. I am tired of everything becoming illegal in the intense aftermath of some tragic event. Every time someone gets shot we feel we have to run out and try and create unnecessary laws that take away the rights of the many to appease the whiny few. There are no more slaves. No one alive today was ever a slave (in this country at least). Most people see the flag as a southern pride thing..not pride over the civil war…not pride over days gone past…but proud to be southern today…here…now. Sadly we need some pride in the south, since the snobby northerners still today look down their noses at the south from atop their debt ridden murder soaked cities. This country has lots of problems…and even if you consider the confederate flag one of those problems, its WAY WAY WAY down the list if anyone cared to try and prioritize. This is classic US politics… pit all of us against each other while the real problems fester.

      Your absolutely ignorant to even compare the two flags in that manner more prejudiced individuals and racist organizations fly the nazi flag and the ss bolts and both of those flags are both very much for sale on amazon. Which if I were to want to make a statement that I was prejudice, Aryan race …. wouldn’t it make more sense to fly the nazi flag . And before your ignorance gets out of hand please grab a book.. The so called “Confederate Flag ” is not even what you think it is. The flag many fly would be the battle flag not even flown over slaves. But rather in a war that really had more to do with disagreement on tariffs and laws between north and south. In fact abraham lincoln had said that if it was only about slavery it would not be a war worth fighting. General Grant owned slaves all the way up until he absolutely had to get rid of them, that’s just two people in history that fought for the union that weren’t fighting the war against slavery. Much like the union had people that supported slavery or wasn’t against it the same holds true for the people fighting for the confederates. And why was the south kept around as part of our country because to create this nation they needed the money of the south. Now on another note I’m pretty sure you wear clothing, if not than I guarantee you atleast spend money ,maybe smoke cigarettes. Well funny thing these are all things made of either cotton or tobacco.

    one cannot buy the rights to the Confederate flag, Hammerstein is not a real lawyer for the couple. Actually, there is no licensed attorney at all in the U.S. named Ralph Hammerstein, Additionally, Newswatch33 is a satire site, and the stories it posts are not to be taken seriously

  • CharlieEL

    This has got to be a joke. There is no way they have the right to buy the rights to a public image. If they Could, then I guess I could buy the rights to the U.S. Flag, or any other flag for that matter….how ridiculous is that??

  • George Tinney

    Slavery has been dead for going on TWO centuries and more Please stop Beating the dead HORSE get off it with the feel like a slave Crap or my great grand pappy was a Slave B/C you ain`t no slave and if you don`t have thing to show for life,,, then It`s your own Dam Fault –America was and is a Equal Opportunity Society for many years now. I Ask not what your Country can do for you,ask what you can do for your Country

  • ahva

    They will never be sold the rights. It is way too important .. Not gonna happen.

    It’s hoax, folks.

    Hoax article. Nothing but click bait. Anyone who knows anything about copyright law or trademark law would know that.

  • Daisiemae

    So who exactly are they going to buy these “rights” from? Who owns the Confederate flag?

    This is just a stupid publicity stunt from yet another entitled celebrity wrapped up in their inflated egos.

  • Mickey Mouse

    They want the US flag too. It flew over slavery ships for 100 years before.

  • kilvehk

    as far as i am aware you can’t buy the rights to something that is in the public domain.

  • Sharon

    Beyonce and Jay are looking for more attention…sit ya’ all azzes down somewhere.

    These two are serving the same Devils who worship the flag…….who are they really kidding and trying to pull a wool over.

    Stay shaking that azz B and you Jay keep them businesses deals coming that you sign with the Devil and stay out of the race baiting game, cause we all know who you serve!!

  • buffmuffin

    ROFL…

    And just who are they ‘buying the rights’ from?

    Who exactly, do they purport owns the rights to the rebel flag?

    What a ridiculous joke of a story. You can’t buy the rights to a national relic any more than they could buy the Washington Monument.

  • El_Cochino

    This story was a hoax, you retards. Historical items are of the public domain and cannot be copyrighted.

  • E. Michael Helms

    Let’s see, the “niggas” (it’s okay, don’t get upset, that’s what they call themselves) are gonna buy that dastardly rebel flag? And then what (hypothetically speaking, of course)?

    They ought to spend their fortunes on something worthwhile, like helping poor inner-city youth crawl out of the gutter the Civil Rights movement and Welfare put them in, and restoring their self-respect as the EQUAL human beings they are!

    What say ye, Reverend Al?

  • D Hess

    My ancestors fought in the Rev war and the War of Northern Aggression and both times it was to defend their rights and prevent a foreign invader from their homes. Blacks cause racism because that’s their crutch in life when something does not go their way, play the race card. Personally most people I know are sick of all the “African American” crap, you are either American or not

  • Cecil

    No one can buy the rights to a flag.

  • http://www.creasmanfp.com Michael C Creasman

    A publicity stunt right up there with lip synching the National Anthem. If they succeed which is doubtful, I will continue to fly the flag. Nobody else obeys the law in this country anymore.

  • longtimeoff

    They are idiots. If they buy it I will still fly it and they will regret trying get me to pay for it.

  • christy

    I’m totally against banning the Confederate flag I’ve had family members that have fought in the war I think its wrong I think it’s part of our history .

  • Freeway

    You can’t really ban it. We live in a free country in case anyone here forgot.

  • Brian Hancock

    You know what people should be more worried about the isiss problem killing men &women that are black and white.and not worry about the flag. Whats gonna happen if the terrorists come here and we are to busy fighting over stupid things and they do another 9/11 cause we arent thinking about them. Just because so dumbass used that flag doesnt mean everyone is a racist. What if he was wearing a basketball jersey. Does that make basketball a racist sport.i know a black guy who shot someone wore NIKE’. So are nikes racist shoes.come on people wake up and lets deal with people that really the problem like the terrorists who are trying to us and are brave men & women in are military.

  • tabaqui

    This is awesome and I hope they succeed. The majority of comments here are so full of ignorance and hate it’s not even worth bothering to read them. Spare yourself.

  • Feet2Fire

    WHO “owns” the Confederate flag? WHO has the “right” to sell it?

    This sounds like a typical Leftist stunt to try to shut down other people’s freedom of expression. Maybe somebody ought to “buy” the offensive, filthy words that so many Rap-stars “sing” (if you can call that singing) so that we don’t have to ever encounter them again.

    Since when did people have the “right” to NOT BE OFFENDED? Most normal, rational people who find something offensive to see or hear move on, rather than sit there and be offended and whine over it.

    This used to be America. Not sure WHAT it is devolving into…

  • truth

    Man are Liberals Ignorant. The Confederate flag does not represent racism. Educate yourself on what it means. It only Became a sign of racism when NoBama said it was.
    You liberals are so brainwashed by this guy you believe and follow anything he says. He will tell you the sun is green and you will believe it. He will tell you eating dog poop is good for you, and you will make a s**t sandwich. You liberals are sad pathetic excuse for people. We The People are Taking back America in 2016.

  • SueT

    Black people sold black people to the white people. Not everyone thinks of the flag as other people do. It’s. just another thing to. divide people so that it will be disagreed over and get everyone upset. I see it as part of our history but even that is what they want to change or hide

    There were also white slaves but no one. ever says. anything about that.

  • SueT

    June Teate you are right. Think about when the Asians where brought here to work in. the mines. My husband’s family came here as a penial colony. So it seems that other people were also slaves. But it’s all about how you want to define the Confederate Flag.

  • JHohio

    This is not a very good decision on their part. The southern states are not gonna give up the right to sell confederate merchandise. I don’t see this going over well.

  • ife

    Its the attitudes that im witnessing on this thread that prevent black people from moving on, no one wants to be accountable for the way we were treated nor the aftermath of it…i dont expect you to ever get it, but i know that i cannot perpetuate the cycle by lowering myself to your standards…i can only educate myself and be an example…just because blacks were not the only people enslaved or because they enslaved others is no excuse for bigotry and discrimination of any kind. We will never know how the other party feels, and we aren’t attempting to understand one another, so this discussion is not productive. I just dont have any faith in human beings at all!

  • Michelle Bowen

    Money can’t buy everything assholes!

  • D M

    If they tried to do this they would need to up their security because confederates would not take kindly to these rich morons thinking they can own a piece of history.

  • Jason Nelson

    The amount of retard in these comments is ridiculous. Keep it flying.
