Michigan inn owners remove Norwegian flag after taking flak from folk mistaking it for Confederacy banner
 
What is red, has a white and blue cross and may make people call you a racist? A Norwegian flag… which owners of a Michigan inn decided to pull down after too many people got angry, thinking it represented the Confederacy. 
 
The decision to remove the Norwegian flag that flew in front of The Nordic Pineapple bed and breakfast in St John’s, Michigan, was announced by owner Kjersten Offenbecker last week. The flag was a tribute to her and her husband Greg’s ancestry and flew on the front pillar of their establishment opposite the US national flag since they moved in in 2018.

“This flag is so often mistaken for the Confederate flag and people are often offended by it before they realize that they are mistaken,” she wrote on Facebook, adding that she still intends to fly it on special occasions and maybe “find a less conspicuous place” for it.

“We love being members of the St. Johns community and are heartbroken to have had to make this decision,” she said.

  2. Most of the Leftists don't really get offended. They pretended to be offended to bully into submission anyone who they can't control. Sadly, it seems to be working more often than not.

    1. Yes and ridiculous. I imagine all have heard the following: Replying to 'you are a racist' admit you are and see what transpires.:)
