Yippee!! The Confederate flag that was flying above a Confederate memorial is gone. No more racism, right? Such a tragedy that nine people died and we remove a flag. Just sad. Now we can waste our time removing memorials.
The flag was nothing but political correctness bullshit.
I'm about as un-PC as they come, but I don't agree. I'm a transplanted northerner living in the south. Many southerners will tell you that the flag means pride and independence, not bigotry. The problem with that is that it has been used by bigots to the silence of the pride and independence crowd. So blacks reasonably are offended by it flying on government buildings. Symbols that reasonably offend a large portion of the population of a State should not be presented on government property. There's nothing PC about that
If we must ban all things associated with slavery, then it goes without saying that the first thing that should be banned is the party of slavery, segregation, and racism....the D Party.
The democ-rats won another P.R. battle and Isis is still a threat to the world and illegal aliens are still killing and robbing and raping Americans. Are the rats going to start burning history books?
No. It took the progressive PC movement to turn the killing into a crazy effort to eliminate American history.Career politicians do not necessarily represent their constituents. You would have a point if the decision were made by referendum. On the other hand Haley has no Southern roots and cannot identify with Southern people's heritage. Her ancestors are from India (don't even think about starting some shit, I have no problem with her ancestry)
Then why did you bring it up?
Haley gets no kudos from me because it took Roof killing nine people to actually get her to address this issue.
Why stop at the Confederate flag? There are many other American symbols that should also be eliminated using the 'logic' of the progressive PC movement.
Exactly!!! But you revitalizing it for the purpose of heating up racial tensions already warmed up by the Administration.No. It took the progressive PC movement to turn the killing into a crazy effort to eliminate American history.Career politicians do not necessarily represent their constituents.

You people get so tiring so go ahead and whine. Cry, gnash your teeth, bury your head in your pillow, drink yourself unconscious, go out and buy con-federate flags with whatever little savings you have. THE WAR WAS OVER 150 YEARS AGO and the flag is a symbol of slavery.
Its in a museum where future generations can rightfully look at it and say "thankfully they lost and that way of life died with them".

.. to illustrate that she has no idea about Southern heritage, none of her ancestors were lost during 1861-1865 in the war
How is it silly? Forget dealing with the actual issues. The Millennials have solved racism!!!! Horay!!!I do think the flag thing is rather silly. I still find it hard to believe that it is about celebrating slavery. I think it's more about celebrating southern heritage, southern pride, that kind of thing. I can't say for sure because I'm not a southerner, but from what friends who have or do live in the south, that is what they tell me.
OTOH, I can understand why black people would find it offensive. To them, it represents a very dark period in their history, so this one is kind of a tough call. I have read articles, however, about some (probably very few) black people who also want the flag to remain as a reminder of slavery and a reminder of history because they think it is important that we remember this period of time, and in a way, they also see it as a way of remembering their ancestors and their fight for freedom.
..but you don't since your family arrived to the USA less than 100 years agofrankly, if I had a Confederate Asshole in my family tree, I'd do everything I could to cover it up.

I found that strange too since the "chosen people" do not intermarry...but you don't since your family arrived to the USA less than 100 years agofrankly, if I had a Confederate Asshole in my family tree, I'd do everything I could to cover it up.
Well, that's not entirely true.
My FATHER'S side of the family arrived in 1925.
My Mothers side of the family includes Cherokee, Dutch, English and Irish and have been here for centuries.
I found that strange too since the "chosen people" do not intermarry.
...rightwinger will take over. They are the same person.
