American Flags are at half staff to show respect for the victims of the horrible mass murders at the historic black church in Charleston, which was an obvious hate crime.
The spotlight is now on our great southern state. It is time for us to recognize that we should move on from what happened here 150 years ago. It certainly wasn't the best four years for the south, nor the time before and after when it concerned racism and slavery.
Here’s the thing. I’m a white person who has lived in the South for over ten years and love this part of our great country. There are plenty of aspects of Southern culture that I am actually very proud of: the food, the hospitality, the acts of kindness toward strangers that visit our area. That's the southern pride and tradition that people know.
But I am not proud of racism. Our state has to be better than that and show the rest of America and the world who are now watching us, that we are not the same state you saw in 1865.
It's time to move on...retire the Confederate flag at the State House.
Yes. Been time. Us and Mississippi I believe are the only states with it up. I dont want to be in company with Mississippi. Take it down. If its "a symbol of your southern pride", then show your southern pride in your own home.
Highly probable, but personally like to see some evidence before making accusations. YMMV.
Oh PLEASE. The shooter (terrorist) himself said "i just wanted to kill black people." That came out of his own mouth. Accusation my butt, it doesnt take a rocket scientist, but since you want confirmation, the shooter conformed it himself.
Another jackass who moves down here and wants to erase heritage. You dont like the flag too damn bad.
Are you talking to me?
