There you have Ladies and Gentlemen! 'Southern Hospitality' at its finest! Aren't you proud to be an 'American'? In the wake of the actions of a heroic band of activists led by Bree Newsome who removed the Confederate flag in front of South Carolinas statehouse, it didnt take long for ugliness to rear its head. First of all, the flag went back up again after only an hour.
Thanks to a hate that wont die, Bree Newsomes actions turned out to be less a grand punctuation of South Carolinas secession than an ellipsis
with more to follow.
White supremacists were out in force yesterday in South Carolina and Alabama and Florida, waving the flags of a defeated nation, some in Confederate uniforms, even more in pot-bellies, all of them racist or ignorant or both.
Trust me, you havent seen this many Confederate flags since Robert E. Lee and Ann Coulters greatest army that ever was got chased out of Pennsylvania with his tale between his legs.
The ugly hand of the League of the South, those staunch defenders of slavery who feel Lincoln was a Commie even before Karl Marx came up with the idea, had something to do with the rally in Alabama! Thats right. These racist white folks see themselves as the real victims, even though none of them are being shot at.
The ones in uniform need to realize the war is over. Because Appomattox. The guys so proud of their heritage need to realize that the South seceded over slaves (and South Carolina in particular made no secret of this) and that the flag therefore represents slavery.
South Carolinas Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union states, in terms that cannot be wished away today.
The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution
and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released from her obligation.
