The power of social media. People have been trying to get this flag removed for years. Crazy white male goes and kills 9 people, the swell of anger and movement got the flag removed in less than a month.

All that was accomplished was to create more division and make more enemies by doing this.

Redneck? Sounds like racial insult. No it will put off people who are tired of PC and culture cleansing.

Dig up the bones of dead confederates and throw them in the ocean. I hurts to know I may walk through a cemetery and pass by their grave sites. :shiver:

LOL at the female house member that was almost in tears saying the people of SC have demanded the flag come down...the CNN poll I saw had 57% of America seeing it as a symbol of heritage and 33% seeing it as racist. I'm guessing the split is more like 65/25 in SC.
