Ok, what if the State of Bavaria made the same argument for flying the swastika --- honoring their history, southern German heritage, and war dead? My guess is there would be almost universal outrage and a world-wide boycott of that German state if not all of Germany.<br /><br />If SC doesn't take down that symbol of black subjugation and racism, then there should be a boycott of it ---- like what was threatened in Arizona over "papers, please" and in Indiana over anti-gay legislation. Both threatened boycotts worked because the huge economic downturn from lost professional sports events, business development, tourism, and conventions etc. Enough debate over the flag, it's time to act.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738662223436795469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-16745619716460576212015-06-19T14:22:12.397-04:002015-06-19T14:22:12.397-04:00Amazing speech by Zell Miller from 1993 attempt to...Amazing speech by Zell Miller from 1993 attempt to remove Confederate Battle flag from Georgia state flag embedded here http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2015/06/18/why-the-confederate-flag-at-south-carolinas-capitol-didnt-dip-for-the-charleston-dead/paulocanninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499916652508144662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-63867736095849555712015-06-19T13:45:33.696-04:002015-06-19T13:45:33.696-04:00A heck of a lot of ignorance over here.

They just think it is another mass shooting and 'the yanks have them every other week'.
