Much of what's being suggested and speculated in terms of the "what's gonna happen next / slippery slope" is emotional, unrealistic, and will never come to pass IMO.
Hypothetical . . . if a governmental employee, from a state choosing not to fly the Confederate Flag, wears a Stars and Bars garment (T Shirt, swimsuit, underwear, bandana, tie), could they be fired for not being in lock-step with their employer's opinion of the racist rag . . . on or off the clock?
How 'bout if they sport Rebel Flag ink?
Would the race of the wearer change your opinion?
