Nearly 40,000 Demand South Carolina Remove Slave Memorial Because It ‘Shames’ Whites

But you never know - the KKK relics say they are going to parade around where the flag USED to be (there is a bit of satisfying symbolism there) at the SC Statehouse and have indicated those with permits intend to carry their sidearms.

I won't live to see it, but one day parents will go to that spot and tell their children, "this is where the KKK USED to make spectacles of themselves."

No, it depicts the truth and if those shameless idiots can't handle the truth.......tough.

The time has come for the truth to be pounded at them. We must never, ever relent to the attempts to whitewash history stand.

The CONFEDERACY WAS A SHAMEFUL THING.

Adolescent, selfish, and mean spirited.

But the very idea that there's a group of people who, by virtue of birth I suppose, are "Yankees" and that this somehow disqualifies them from having any influence over the behavior of the good people of Dixie is terribly destructive of national unity and social consensus.

So, you've noticed the attempts to paint Southern Whites along with other Whites especially Christians, as "victims" too?

It's too bizarre for words. It's bizarre and it's blatant BS.

I was recently told, "So what? Looks to me like she was just another racist civil rights activist trying to stir things up." in reference to Sandra Bland.

Dismissal and condemnation of the woman knowing no more than what he saw in a two minute YouTube clip.

Welcome to Republican America.

Exactly. But, I don't expect national unity - I don't care if they know history or not. If they want to blame everything on "yankees," no problem - they can think whatever they want - free country.

But they can not break the law and they can not have the confederate battle flag flying over gov. prop. in the US.

Everyone has the freedom to think what they want. Everyone has the right to speak their minds.............

And that includes those who are tired of quietly listening to the lies and bullshit of Confederate whitewashers.

Does it not?

We can't pass laws to shut them up, but we can shout them down.

Does it not?

Yes indeed - if they choose to be selfish morons, they better learn to take the consequences.

And it is all such a f*&king waste of time - a gazillion things need to be done and these imbeciles are worried about a flag that does nothing but bring up a shameful past and pain for those who had to endure it.

I mean, it's now to the point were they have to CHOOSE stupid - all the information and truth is readily available.

You figure people out - write a book - I'll buy it.
