I understand that with the S.C. House of Representatives voting to take down the flag last night (and the Senate already voting to do so) the bill just needs to be signed by the governor and taken down tomorrow.
It is too bad that this wasn't done immediately after the murders. It has been a huge bone of contention with the blacks for years and the murders in that church sparked a huge outcry against the flag. At least the decision was made to take the flag down. Imagine what would have happened across the country had the decision been to leave it up.
I am glad it is coming down. Like I said, it should have happened the next day.
Now, hopefully Jesse Jackson might go back to Chicago to do something about the daily (and especially on the weekends) murders taking place in his city. Maybe even talk with his son and daughter-in-law about ethics.
More blacks are being killed (by other blacks) there in a month than in Charleston. The problems in the black inner city neighborhoods are out of control.
They need to do something about that.
But I imagine now, the assault will shift on all Confederate flags and symbols everywhere.
