South Carolina ran the Confederate Naval Jack (what everybody calls the "Confederate flag," the rectangular St. Andrews Cross on the red field) up on the Statehouse in 1962. (By the way, y'know who signed the bill? DEMOCRAT Governor Ernest "Fritz" Hollings.)

In 1999, that flag was removed from the top of the South Carolina Statehouse. In its place, a battle standard--not the national flag of the Confederacy, a BATTLE FLAG a mere three and a half feet square--flies on a pole BEHIND A CONFEDERATE SOLDIER'S MONUMENT on the Statehouse grounds. If you didn't know where to look for it, you'd probably miss it. I know this because I worked five blocks from it in downtown Columbia for almost six years.

This is a bunch of crap from the NAACP and the liberal university administrators. I'm glad South Carolina isn't knuckling under to these race pimps.

"This is a bunch of crap from the NAACP and the liberal university administrators. I'm glad South Carolina isn't knuckling under to these race pimps."

There's quite a few of those "race pimps" and NAACP lovers right here on this board too.

You'll know them by the trash they spout.

South Carolina accommodations tax receipts increased $3.5 million during the boycott period, and admissions tax collections grew $2.5 million according to the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism.

If the boycott is any indication of how the NAACP is run, they are worse shape than I thought.

I didn't work to much farther than that. I worked at the corner or Pickens and Whaley. 1980 to 1986. I never once heard anyone complain about the flag.
