NAACP must move past the flag

In the fall of 1996, Gov. David Beasley took to the television airwaves to call upon the Legislature to remove the Confederate flag from atop the Statehouse dome and relocate it to a place of honor.

Sen. Glenn McConnell, one of the Legislature's staunchest flag supporters, followed Beasley to give a rebuttal to the governor's speech. McConnell defended the flag's honor. He then compared Beasley's conciliatory tone to that of Neville Chamberlain, the weak-kneed British prime minister who chose to concede to German aggression at the onset of World War II instead of standing up to Adolph Hitler.

I still don't see why the National Association for the Advancement of Commie Pinkos just doesn't move on and get over it...

The NAACP has no other issue that they can solve.

They can potentially get the flag totally banned but they can't do anything to solve problems in the black communities.

The flag is a distraction issue.

.....it's not even an issue.....

I know you don't want to hear this but sometimes I just wish these things would be settled in their favor. Not because I agree with the NAACP just because the faster we get this stuff over, the faster these people will have to deal with their own issues of personal failure.

You have integrated schools. You have blacks on prime time tv. You have welfare and free lunch programs. You remove the flag.

Even with all that, they would still have to deal with themselves and that is where the problems lay.

.....don't think so.....
