Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
The fact that the flag is 100x more likely to be flying in the front yard of a single wide more so than any other home type tells me about all I need to know. Can't recall too many instances where I've ever seen a individual with a professional degree flying the flag on their well manicured lawn.
So you are a complacent quitter? If the flag was about slavery, then yes, I say take it down. I'm just as offended by a exclusive black orginazation. But I don't count due to White Privilege. What the hell is that? I work hard for what I got. Get no assistance with my medical bills, no free phone. There is,no excuse for a person not advancing themselves today other than themselves. The pot stirrers,are the ones keeping the fire burning.
You really have to hear the actual details of the conflict from folks that actually experienced what happened. Any history books that described the conflict was biased towards the North. There was so much propaganda during that time, the truth is the actual soldiers knew absolutely nothing about what it was like to own a slave. They were patriots and loyal to the confederacy because their ancestors fought for freedom during the revolutionary war. In their minds it was a battle for freedom and independence just as their forefathers had done some 100 years prior.
The history was written by the victor therefore most folks think the Southern man fought this war for slavery, the reality is this war had absolutely nothing to do with slavery and everything to do with freedom.
This country will can never succeed without similar patriotism. Currently this country is divided much more deeply by political views that it ever was during the Civil War.

If it aint got 8 toes & a green head,it aint a duck.
That would have been an easy answer until today. I am still trying to figure out why God allowed this sinner to violate God's people in his house. Why the persecution? Why the nicest guy in the Senate? How could the kid sit through a prayer meeting not get touched by God?
Ya'll can argue about all the divisive issues you want. I lost a friend in Christ. I need a moment. I listened to relatives of the slain tell the murderer that forgive him today at the bail hearing.
I wonder what God is telling us. Violence has followed every similar controversy in America over the past couple years. I was being drawn into the hate. This time it feels different. I am going to listen to God and pray.

I am proud to have a gift brought to us. Nothing to do with anything bout race. Took this Man on a duck and goose hunt or 2 or 3. Showed up one day with THE FLAG that was flown 1-day as they all were. Next to the last one that was EVER FLOWN over the STATE CAPITOL. Jim Hodges was the guv. Yall younguns get your stuff together.
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/

I agree with Duct Tape. I'm sorry for the loss of your colleague. The boy had an agenda and it failed. How do you hope to start a race riot with people who aren't racist? Some of the finest representives of the black, Charleston, and State communities lost their lives in the place they felt the safest. This act has brought the city and state closer. Not seperated as the shooter hoped. The outsiders coming in are the ones trying to make it a negative campaign. In respect for the ones who lost are affected, give it some time before pointing fingers and playing the blame game. My thoughts and prayers are with those struggling to know why.
The Confederate flag has about as much to do with this sensless murder as the great Reverend Al Sharpton has to do with the abolition of slavery.
