Saying South Carolina's history has forever changed, Gov. Nikki Haley signed a bill Thursday to relegate the Confederate flag to the state's "relic room," more than 50 years after the rebel banner began flying at the Statehouse to protest the civil rights movement.
Compelled to act by the slaughter of nine African-Americans at a church Bible study, Gov. Nikki Haley praised lawmakers for acknowledging that the long-celebrated symbol is too painful and divisive to keep promoting.
"The Confederate flag is coming off the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse," Haley said before signing the bill. "We will bring it down with dignity and we will make sure it is stored in its rightful place."
And yet liberals all over the country still can't explain what difference this will make.
This has been something liberals have wanted to do for decades and not once in that time period have they convinced the south that their flag is about racism.
The polls still to this very day in fact that 57% of the population disagrees with them.
South Carolina has now joined other states in rebuking confederate ideology and all it includes. Don't like it? Move to Somalia. :shrug:
You could have moved to Somalia instead of ignoring the people. :shrug:
That's nice. So? :shrug:
A governor whose parents are Indian, surrounded by blacks and whites, signing a bill to remove a symbol of hatred 50 years after it was put there by a government that had just 2 years earlier enforced segregation. Gay marriage is now legal in all 50 states and my Cuban wife just made me tamales. What a time to be alive.
I thought you liberals cared what the people think on issues?
Oooh, sick comeback! So let me get this straight, legislators follow the procedures they established in order to remove the flag which is what your side has been arguing for a while, and you now the opinion of the people becomes important?
And yet liberals all over the country still can't explain what difference this will make. Will depressed deprived people somehow not find symbols of hate to use to justify their hatred? Will they somehow stop using the Confederate flag to do it? Will anything really change at all? This has been something liberals have wanted to do for decades and not once in that time period have they convinced the south that their flag is about racism. The polls still to this very day in fact say that 57% of the population disagrees with them. I suppose however it fine to stand for democracy and ignore the people. Hell, with liberals it's just rhetoric. The people are what matters is what I'm told by them constantly, but I suppose ignoring them when it suits you is fine too. Funny how that works.
Hey, can't I only care about the people sometimes too? I thought you guys were all about equal treatment and stuff?
Ask the millions of blacks who are still alive and remember very clearly what life under Jim Crow was like, what difference taking down that flag will make.
But I forget - this is you, and as far as I've seen, you automatically dismiss any answer someone gives you that doesn't agree with what you already believe.

Why does it have to make any difference? If you deny that it makes a difference, then there is no reason to fly it. If it does make a difference, then there is a reason to take it down.

Why did liberals lie and say this had to do with the shooting? Are people like myself supposed to be unaware that they were trying to get it removed for decades?
False choice fallacy....Instant losing argument...

If the problem was SC following the procedure to remove the flag, it has been done. The opinion of the people was irrelevant when it was put there, it remains irrelevant now that it has been removed. :shrug:
Yes, horrible liberals like Nikki Haley and Jeb Bush. In fact Bush removed the Confederate flag from the statehouse in Florida by executive order. Nobody voted on it.

The flag is coming down because a fair amount of the citizens see it as symbol of hate. Do you care about them?
