Wal-Mart and Sears will remove all merchandise containing or related to the confederate flag. The flag, with its deep-rooted racist history and longtime relic for Antebellum-Era slavery in the Southern United States, has been ordered to be removed by South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. According to a spokesman for Wal-Mart, the company does not want to offend anyone with the products it offers. The spokesman, named Brian Nick went on to release a statement, which read, “We have taken steps to remove all items promoting the confederate flag from our assortment – whether in our stores or on our website,” Sears Holding Corp, which operates both Sears and Kmart department stores, will allegedly be removing the same merchandise from its stores.

To many, the stores’ removal of the confederate flag merchandise could be viewed as a win–or a loss. With the awareness that confederate merchandise was sold in these stores as recently as this past week would imply that “progress” is only subjective to those of us in Black Society.
