Mayor of South Carolina capital says Confederate flag should come down

[guno]

The mayor gets it, no reason to have that rag flying on state capital grounds , the state should represent everyone not just the neo confederates and their apologists

And to the idiots who claim it wasn't about slavery, why did the south institute jim crow laws after that got their hick asses beat? Why did the confederate rag start showing up during the civil rights movement?

Ridiculous. The flag harms no one. This country is going to hell in a hand basket. Of all the shit we have on our plates, some damn idiot thinks the flag is an important piece of the puzzle. Go figure. What in hell does he hope to accomplish by removing the flag? Does he honestly believe that peace and harmony will result?

The flag of the Confederate States of America has had a fraught history in the South since the Civil War, but supporters say it represents a symbol of Southern heritage, a history they associate with honor and valor, not racism.

Here’s an excerpt from a 2001 TIME story on Southerners who cling to symbols of the Old South, quoting Chris Sullivan, editor of Southern Partisan magazine, which celebrates the Confederate cause:

“There’s an old joke about a Yankee who comes down South and drops into a country store… Something comes up about the Civil War, and he says, ‘When is the South going to get over that?’ The guy tells him, ‘When it’s over.’ So the Yank says, ‘What would you call what happened at Appomattox Court House? And the Southerner says, ‘Longest cease-fire in history.'”

The refusal to believe that the war is over, according to the 2001 story, is linked to anxieties about the erosion of white people’s economic status in the face of racial progress.

No it is not and no it isn't.

But it should come down, in my opinion.

The mayor was elected by a simple majority in the city.
The legislature who put it there was elected by a majority in their districts and represent the entire state.

Trumps your pissant mayor.

Well, as long as you are being obsessive over this issue and started multiple threads, make sure to thank the governor of South Carolina at the time the law was passed. A Democrat.

And don't forget to thank the state senate at the time the law was passed. A Democrat majority.

You can thank the house as well, it was a majority Republican house...

FALSE!!! Interesting when we look at a respectable poll (Pew Research Center) of how Americans view the Confederate flag. Most Americans think nothing about it.

And Blacks, whom the flag removers say they are so concerned about, show up in the poll as having only 41% having a negative view of the flag, as opposed to 55% who are not negative to it, and that 55% of blacks includes a 10% group, who view it with a POSITIVE reaction.

A lot of soldiers was given orders, and therefore they fought for their brothers. Is the pen mightier than the sword?.. I leave you with this question.

Mark my my words. In the next week the PC Millennials will be be defacing monuments and demanding all references to slavery be erased from the history books. Oh wait. They did it last night.
