Confederate Battle Flag

I see the N2ACP has their panties all in a wad because the Confederate Battle Flag is still being flown in South Carolina. Not happy with having it removed from the Capitol dome there, they are now after the one on Statehouse grounds near the Confederate Soldier Monument.

They probably don't know or care what the 13 stars sewn onto a blue cross even stood for. There is one for each of the 11 states that seceded plus one for both Kentucky and Missouri. Or that the blue background is known as a St. Andrew's cross named after Andrew (one of the first disciples of Christ) who was crucified by the Romans on an x-shaped cross.

Southern heritage and pride are only acceptable if your ancestors were black. Anything else is labeled as divisive and racist. It seems odd that we are asked not to judge the actions of all blacks because the criminal actions of some that were "less fortunate" than their white counter parts but we are judged just for being proud of our Southern roots.

For a group that totals less that %14 of the population they represent some alarming statistics. Black women have nearly 30% of all abortions, black men make up the majority prison population in most states (%77 in Maryland), they have an illegitimacy rate of %70, race pimps like Jesse Jackson keep pushing them into victimization, black hip hop artists spew hate and gang related activities as a badge of honor.

I'm Just Saying - you would think their focus would be on solving current problems instead of worrying about a 147 year old flag.
