This is a nice "screw you" from the SC General Assembly..... and not racist at all!

[Statistikhengst]

I get such a kick out of people whining that it's not at half mast, when there are only two choices.

Up, or down.

No in between

Uhm, no.

Half-mast is definitely an option.

And it is still flying at full-mast at the capitol in South Carolina. Puke.



South Carolina s Confederate Flag Not Lowered to Half-Staff After Massacre - NBC News

In solemn tribute to the nine people gunned down at a Charleston church, two flags atop the statehouse in Columbia, South Carolina, were lowered to half-staff on Thursday. They will stay there for nine days in honor of each victim.

But in a bewildering display, a Confederate flag on statehouse grounds is still flying high. It wasn't an oversight. It's because of state law.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has jurisdiction over how and when state flags fly — but the Confederate flag is under the authority of the state's General Assembly, lawmakers told NBC News. It can't be changed in any way without a sign-off from the General Assembly.

The flag — as well as other historically named icons and places — is legally protected under the 2000 South Carolina Heritage Act. The rebel banner continues to draw criticism from South Carolinians who say it keeps the symbol of slavery and the Civil War alive.

Way to go, RW racists!! Well done!!!





Discuss. Have racists won, here?

I say: yes, they have.

It's the most vocal way that conservatives and rw bigots can display their racism without actually having to admit it. Anyone who roots for a loser (and the rebs lost) is a traitor to the United States (who won).

bbbbb....bbbbb.bbbbbb....bbbut Staytes Raaaaaahts!!!!

Well, it appears to be up........unless you're blind.

Indeed it is.

and it takes a vote of the State Assembly to take it down.

Have they voted on it?

Bingo, that is EXACTLY my point. They've now had two days to do that and they were in session.

Not every gun owner is a racist white supremacist.

But every racist white supremacist is a gun owner!

Including the perpetrator of this latest atrocity committed in the name of racist white supremacy.

The SC legislature should have removed the confederate flag for at least 9 days while they pass legislation to get rid of it entirely IMO.

The Statehouse in SC is NOT private land. It is public land. Hint: the word "State" in "Statehouse" should be a big clue for you, l'il slugger.

Ahhh, so the method of flying that specific flag is just as antiquated and useless as the flag itself.

Well, in that case, they should just take it down. But of course, they won't.
