Maybe Missouri and Maryland should put Confederate flags

on their state houses.
They had alleged acts of racism that actually weren't and it ended up with riots.
In SC, where the flag was flying, after one actual event of a white cop shooting an unarmed black man, then a crazy racist shooting up a black church, no riots.
Seems the actual race relations in SC are better.
Maybe the flag helps.

the reaction of the true SC residents come together regardless of race after the murders. We don't need no stinking riots! We showed the world what true grace and forgiveness is.
But, then the outsiders had to invade and try to divide. THAT is why I hate the media. They truly are an agent of the Devil ... unless they write something positive about Clemson.

That's why I want to smack Nikki Haley for her reaction

There was no need. It changed the focus of what was happening. She should have used the aftermath to show that actual people in SC get along well and there isn't a strong feeling of discontent just waiting to blow up.
The flag had nothing to do with anything. It's such a shallow, nitwit reaction.

symbols for their situation instead of themselves. They will not hesitate to move on to the next thing they can blame. It will not end because they continue to focus on excuses rather than themselves.

Exactly. She turned it into something it wasn't and made....

the state look bad, when in fact the SC reaction to such events was far more honorable and classy than other "non racist" regions of the country. Thanks Nikki! If the flag was such an issue, why wasn't it addressed before now?

state, that many of us-black and white work together-laugh together, cry together, get angry together, eat and enjoy the same foods together (BBQ, Boiled Peanuts, Okra and Tomatoes, etc.), pull for our favorite team together, etc.--that our relations are sometimes deeper than you find in other places. Just my 2 cents on that.

Well actually they do. It wasn't until the nazis started working with the Arab countries did they start kicking out Jews. Arabs and Jews in pre modern day Israel got along and lived together peacefully.
