“For those who find the decline in support for the Confederate battle flag to be proceeding too slowly, here’s an alternative that is quick, direct, illegal, and likely to provoke rage.

The No Flagging Challenge dares people to destroy privately owned Confederate battle flags displayed on people’s homes and vehicles.

According to the hashtag tracking site Keyhole, the tag #NoFlaggingChallenge appeared Sunday, with most of its activity coming from Vine. About two-thirds of those posting videos are male. A similar tag #ConfederateTakedown is also popular on Twitter, but that tag is mainly geared towards legally removing the flags from public buildings.” *
