Sure seems like the guy just disagrees with the politics and the flag has nothing to do with race. Political disagreement didn't float so he had to drag race into it to get traction. I think the guy should retract his stupid article and find a new line of employment.
The key part for me was this:
The flag was the creation of the National League of Families of Prisoners of War, later the National League of Families of American Prisoners and Missing in Southeast Asia, a fascinating part of the story in itself. The organization was founded by POW wife Sybil Stockdale, during the Johnson administration, in an effort to embarrass LBJ and challenge his line that all in Vietnam was going swell
The bottom line is, we still have a lot of service members that are MIA and politics should have nothing to do with that even, let alone race.

The moral confusion was abetted by the flag: the barbed-wire misery of that stark white figure, emblazoned in black.

In golf, red numbers are good, black numbers are bad. Golf is racist.

When you do this kind of thing it only encourages CID to barge in and use the word "non-sequitur".

No, Enos - that's not a non-sequitur
It is a sarcastic use of reductio ad absurdum
you should actually read all the logical fallacies - you'll see where you've been going wrong all this time

Lighten up, Francis. I'm an anti-ebonite, not an anti-semite.

I got a Newsweek message saying I've reached my free articles limit and I have't even intentionally tried to look at Newsweek articles.

I didn't suggest it was. I just mentioned that you like to use the word a lot. Thats all.
I'll bet you love to spring that shit on the unsuspecting diplomatic types that think you're as dumb as you look.
