...I had planned on waiting until they were buried until making any comments.
But since the NAALCP and the traitorous governor of South Carolina have shown no shame in politicizing their deaths, I now feel no constraints to comment.
A friend of mine made the following statement to his relative in South Carolina who was ecstatic at the Governor's announcement today.....
Quote:
That was nothing more than your governor whoring her integrity and exploiting the tragic deaths in the AME church shooting for her own political expediency.
By her actions, she propagated the ignorant and repeated lie that the flag is, itself, a symbol of hatred and she propagated the absurd idea that the Confederate flag made this terrorist walk into a church and start shooting and murdering.
Rather than correct ignorance and instigation, she chose to appease ignorance... again, for mere political expediency. Rather than addressing the actual issue, she chose to engage a side show that had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting... and she did so because she knew it would win her points with ignorant voters in her state. She did nothing but exploit the victims of this evil act.
She's a harlot.

I'll echo his comments by saying that if she, Tim Scott, or Lindsay Graham think this will win them any points in the next election with the NAACP or the media, they are fools.
I do not see a resolution to remove the flag passing with 2/3 majority necessary in both chambers of the South Carolina legislature, at least without some major compromise like replacing the flag with another Confederate emblem. There is going to be a push back like they never dreamed.
