20. Another silly excess in the wake of a horrible tragedy.

There's a right and a wrong way to handle everything, including hate. These historical reenactments are not glorying monuments to the CSA or slavery.

I fully understand the need to be sensitive about such things, but these excesses are getting a bit silly.
