The irony is is that most of the blacks I knew when I lived in Columbia didn't care about the flag one way or the other. They might've preferred it out of sight, but they were sick of hearing about it and in general, didn't seem to mind it. After the compromise that put that flag behind that monument, the only people that kept bringing it up over and over were out-of-state politicians, race pimps like Jesse Jackson, and the state NAACP come fund-raising time. The general public, regardless of race or political leaning, mostly considered the matter closed once the flag moved from the top of the Statehouse dome down to the Confederate Soldiers Memorial.

And in this day of central government and, what used to be, central media, we have to bow to the almighty intellects of those who would be kings. Screw 'em. If SC wants to secede again I'll move there. No war, just freedom. IF there is any state that even comes close to the ideas that existed prior to 1860 it is SC. And don't give me the slavery crap. That is ancient history. I'll warrant that you can find many black South Carolinians who would also be ready to shed themselves of the Imperial Federal Government.
Oh, no question. I can't believe how stunningly obvious it is.
