Around the time of Brown v. Board of Ed., Thurgood Marshall (then head of the NAACP Legal Defense fund bringing the civil rights cases) had one simple, non-negotiable position for anyone that wanted a job with him. They had to understand and agree that the Klan had all of the exact same rights of speech and assembly as the civil rights protesters. And that they were entitled to the same protections under the law.

Sounds like the Del Boca Vista Phase III's board of directors needs to change their rules and regs to ban all flags. Problem solved.

Kramer, these people work and wait their whole lives to move down here, sit in the heat, pretend it's not hot, and enforce these rules.

Yeah,your sensibilities are assaulted here on a daily basis,Mr.Peabody. Everytime you read something you find "beneath you",the cheap insults go flying. Pull up your pants,get out of your basement and get some sunlight.

As a society we have to be careful not to force views on others. Everyone has the right to their own beliefs even if they are unpopular or what others consider to be bigoted. What we are seeing with a lot of the things going on in politics is that certain views are being promoted as acceptable and other views as unacceptable. Is this guy going to be charged with a hate crime for saying he's a KKK member? Holding an unpopular viewpoint is not a crime and when it is made a crime the concept of freedom is diminished.

Nobody's rights are being infringed or freedom diminished. You have the right to say whatever you want whenever you want. Here's the tricky part though. Others have the right to tell you what a bigoted idiot you are for saying it. That's how it works.

As for the flag, he should be allowed to fly it. That damn First Amendment.

There's no question he should be allowed to fly the flag. I don't even know how there's a debate. It's protected in his Constitutional rights. As someone already said, we also have the right as a society to mock him and beat up his kids (well maybe not the last one).

It's not a debate, amongst people with the ability to think critically. If RR and Nas defending this guy's right to be a bigot won't change pasta's mind, then nothing will. Some men want nothing more than to be told what to do by an authority figure, unfortunately, and that's what's wrong with this country, and probably humanity in general.
