In addition to Confederate flag, this statue tells you all you need to know about SC capitol

Right out front, given top placement on the grounds of Nikki Haley's statehouse:


"There's not enough troops in the Army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the Nigra race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches.”
-- U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., unrepentant racist, conservative icon, buddy of Ronald Reagan

Tear this disgrace down and replace it one one of Rev. Clementa Pinckney

She's a real piece of drunken work believe me. Guns in hand and ready to blow at all times. I became so sickened by her that I began to hang the phone up every time she would call. She finally got the message I after I hung-up on her every time I heard her voice.

My gawd, she's a sick racist indeed.

Pray for the poor sick bastards they say in AA.

Better yet, stay the hell away from the poor sick bastards and do yourself a big favor and let them rot in their own putrid racist crap.

I'd be ashamed to be from South Carolina in lieu of what has transpired.

A state of racists is what they seem to be to me, nice beaches and all that goody two shoes crap.
