Clyburn right about Citadel’s Confederate flag

... The Citadel’s Board of Visitors already voted to move the flag to a museum, where it belongs. But it says it cannot do it. That’s because of the South Carolina legislature’s spiteful Heritage Act that usurps local decisions on historical monuments ...

We’re good at unveiling murals and portraits. But we’re not good at unveiling the truth. We can’t write each other’s histories, or live each other’s histories. But we can appreciate each other’s histories. And that means putting Confederate flags in the museum, not in each other’s faces.

If we don’t have respect for the person on our left and the person on our right, we will never know the strength of a corps.

1. Just like NC's HB2 them Repubes love local government....until they don't.

All those years of mouth words about getting power away from the Feds and even away from the state to get it more local but now they themselves are showing that it was all just mouth words.

2. Great idea. Get those racist flags out of our faces. Put them where we can see them if we want.

Maybe the rebel cretins are afraid we'll forget them. They should only be so lucky. As long as they are remembered, and what they did, they will be hated.
