Why not?

How about an end to an overly romanticized, sanitized, fantasy history?

Tell all sides of the story instead of shying away from the shameful bits.


And, stand watie, 'willfully ignorant idiots' stick in the craw.

I don’t see the problem, the old people of South Carolina is dead !! The people that lives in SC today are mostly immigrants from up North/Illegal Immigrants and a few blacks that happen to hang around while times did not get any better.

If you don’t like the old flag in the state house just go get the old thing and burn it!!
If you don’t like anything else in SC just get a liberal judge to change the law and be done with it!! The old people that once cared don’t care anymore!! Old South Carolina is DEAD!! It can not remain an issue forever!! IT IS ABOUT TIME TO GIVE OLD SOUTH CAROLINA A REST

Like that fantasy history about the North fighting the WBTS over slavery?

Sounds good to me. We can start with Martin Luther King. That would sure as hell be interesting.

No one is hiding anything. Tillman's racist past is in the history books for anyone to see.

What these people want is a disclaimer.

As far as shying away from shameful bits of our history, see post #8 and you might get an idea of why we do not change every historical monument according to political correctness or according to which way the wind is blowing today.

i note that you are NOT from SC, but rather from "the LEFT coast". may i suggest that what we SC folk do in SC is NONE of your business & that (at least until you get strech pelosi, diane SWINEstein, "barbie boxer" & ALL the other kooks from CA/OR/WA OUT of the congress) you worry about YOUR state???

fyi, NOBODY in SC/dixie CARES what the denizens of "the LEFT coast" & the northeast think or "care about". further we southerners couldn't care less WHAT/IF you think/feel/desire "out there"/"up there" as long as you do not get ANY of our tax dollars for your "social programs", "environmentalist WHACKO ideas", etc,etc,etc.

if you want to "get along" as good neighbors SHOULD, keep your opinions to yourself. fyi, southerners just want you to go away & leave us ALONE.

free dixie,sw
