The Confederacy Under Attack Again-- Part 2: The S.C. Flag Again


I have not been writing about these as I had in the past as I get way too angry at the desecration these people do.

**  Mayor:  No decision on Confederate owners.  Winston-Salem, N.C.  The UDC own the statue and the city has told them to remove it as it has had two "vandalism" incidents and is a public nuisance.  The city has offered to pay for moving it to a cemetery.

**  Confederate flag from South Carolina statehouse put on display at museum.  This was the flag that flew over the statehouse in Columbia that stirred up so much controversy after the Charleston murders.  The Confederate relics room had originally asked for $4 million to display it.  Now it is in a $1,400 viewing case.  A lot more reasonable.

**  Library of Congress apologizes for MLK Day tweet that also mentioned Stonewall Jackson's birthday  on Jan. 21.  This was part of their Today in History series.

**  Franklin, Tennessee, offers settlement in dispute with UDC over the Confederate monument in a square.  Blacks want markers in the square and UDC refuses to allow them to do so.

Won't It be Nice When "Vandalism" of Confederate Monuments Is Labelled Hate Crimes Which Is What It Really Is.   --Old Secesh
