So if we have the story correct thus far....

A. It's a soldier's flag.
B. It causes otherwise ordinary people to go out and kill black people.
C. It's ok for the NAACP to harm States economies over a piece of cloth that the citizens of the State voted on.

Now according to the Governor of SC the correct answer is B and she is being cheered....

Didn't the slave ships sail out of Boston to Africa and then to Charleston? I love how Northerners like to think they are so pure in the slave debate.

...and all the confederates were a bunch of classless morons..... and still are!... and put a flag in their hands and they will kill a black person in a heartbeat.... that's what the flag is for you know.

"The Petersburg Express is informed by Lieut. Daniels, who has just arrived at Petersburg from Fort Norfolk, that some 35 or 40 Southern negroes, captured at Gettysburg, are confined at Fort McHenry. He says that they profess an undying attachment to the South. Several times Gen. Schenck has offered to release them from the Fort, if they would take the oath of allegiance to the Federal Government and join the Lincoln army. They had peremptorily refused in every instance, and claim that they should be restored to their masters and homes in the South. They say they would prefer death to liberty on the terms proposed by Schneck."1

"Those imprisoned at Fort McHenry came from all classes of civilian population and from all ranks of the military. Among the most prominent civilians detained at the fort were the marshal of the Baltimore City Police force and the board of police commissioners; the mayor of Baltimore; a former governor of Maryland; members of the House of Delegates from Baltimore City and County; the congressman from the 4th Congressional District; a state senator; newspaper editors, including the grandson of Francis Scott Key; ministers, doctors, judges and lawyers. Prisoners of war included privates, officers, chaplains and surgeons. "

Well since we are on this topic and since some people would like to rewrite the history of America, here's some food for thought.

I am sure that some Native Americans aren't very happy when they see the Stars and Stripes and think about places like Wounded Knee or the idolizing of Americans who facilitated the killing and forcible relocation of Native Americans.

Multiple military installations are named after former Confederate generals such as Hood, Benning, A.P Hill, Lee, etc... So I suppose the U.S military is continuing the racist ideology of the south. Oh the horror to think that minorities from all races and creeds have served at these racist institutions. I'll bet plenty of Native Americans who were stationed at Ft. Jackson, SC (named after President Andrew Jackson) are pissed off considering he was one of the primary proponents of the Indian Removal Act- https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Indian_Removal_Act

At some point this stupidity has to stop. We are blaming guns, flags, video games, rap music, satanic rock-n-roll, TV, lack of smart phones, solar flares, sun spots and fluoride instead of putting the blame where it belongs. F&*ked up people and nothing will ever change.

Yeah. Damn ad piped up as I clicked on the vid.

ETA: it's sad we give credence to an attention wore psycho whoes aim was to divide us more.

As much as I loath that flag, it needs to stay up. Its a reminder of the South's dark past, but also the pride we still have for ourselves and our culture. I'm not saying that the racism, Jim Crow and slavery are good parts of it, and it's not, but there is a Southern Pride that just can't be explained.

(The most racist people I know are from the North. Many of us in the South have truly mended that past).

interesting points

one part of them

“When did all this become a Republican problem? Who wrote the lyrics of the song, “Dixie?”…If you go to Arkansas, you know, all these old racial segregationists, they’re all Democrats,” Limbaugh continued. “Bill Clinton’s mentor from Arkansas, J. William Fulbright, was a proud segregationist. And Bill Clinton signed a proclamation authorizing the Confederate flag to fly over the statehouse in Arkansas.”
