A bed and breakfast in Saint Johns, Michigan has removed a Norwegian flag from the building after dozens of people allegedly confused it for the Confederate flag and complained. According to WILX-10, “dozens of guests and people driving by have accused the couple” behind the Nordic Pineapple Bed and Breakfast “of flying a Confederate flag.” Kjersten Offbecker, one of the owners, said, “They are the same color, but there are no stars on the Norwegian flag, and the Confederate flag is a big ‘x’ and the Norwegian flag is part of the Nordic countries, they’re all crosses.” Offbecker claimed angry

Usually, the ignorant think it is a nazi flag...

Ignorance is Forever. Especially if one doesn't know the difference between the Battle flag of the Confederate States of America and any other banner.

Perhaps this B&B in Michigan should be flying an American flag.

So it the owners were accused of wearing hateful clothes they'd be naked now? Not many with a spine left in this country of ours.

All LDotters who have a Facebook page should go to the B&B's page, The Nordic Pineapple B&B, and encourage them to put up the flag again. This is ridiculous. Ignorance wins.

I can explain this. The B&B is only 20 miles away from Michigan State University, where huge numbers of woke but ignorant professors and students congregate.

I think a better solution would have been to put up a big sign next to the flag saying, "This is not the Confederate Flag, it is the Norwegian flag" but do it in Norwegian. "Dette er ikke det konfødererte flagget, det er det norske flagget".

To be clear, janjan, they do hang the American flag. They had both flags flying.

What IGNORANCE. I'd be truly embarrassed by my own stupidity if I made a fool of myself like this.

One of the requirements of being a 'Karen' is to have single digit IQ's, I guess. Some of these dummies must wake up and the 1st thing they think is, "What can I be offended by today?"

You don't need to go to their faceplant page to let them know to put the flag back up, just email them, their email is at the bottom of their website's main page.

This reminds me of when the left started coming after the Confederate battle flag several years ago. A relative of mine purchased a Stars and Bars Confederate flag but was afraid to fly it at her suburban Chicago home. I told her to go ahead and do it - most people wouldn’t know what it was and some would probably mistake it for the flag of Puerto Rico.
The amount of ignorance in the world today is truly mind boggling. And tragic.

I would continue to display the Norwegian flag.
I would consider it a social experiment and test.
I would keep track of the stupid people, and their race, who complained.
I would wager it to be 99% non-white and 100% ignorant

It is amazing snowflakes are triggered by something they would have paid someone to battle against in their place had they been of military age during the civil war. That is virtue signalling in a nut shell.

I've flown the first flag of the Confederacy from my balcony for years on holidays, and no one recognizes it. One neighbor asked me what it was, and when I told him, he laughed (he's Texan).

Love it # 11. Maybe sometime we snacks lol. People would probably think the sign was a quote from Adolf (Trump) Hitler.
Never forget that half the people in this country are below average intelligence. If you want to argue the point I know which side of the line you fall on.

Just shows actually how stupid protestors are...the B& B should keep the flag up and tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine...

The Offbeckers should not be held responsible for the stupidity of their fellow Michigan residents. How stupid are they when they cannot recognize an orange, blue and white flag as Norwegian, vs the red, white and blue of the Confederate battle flag?

It's a safe bet that these geographical illiterates are also in favor of subordinating our national interests to the "international community" - which they have just proved themselves too stupid to understand.
