I'd suggest the "protesters" read the "Declaration of Immediate Causes which May Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union". This states why SC decided to secede, in the original words of the leaders of the time. This is not spin but rather the actual justification for secession. It's not what granddaddy told them.

Why can't SC get out of their own way? Focus on the positives of this state. Enjoy the success of hosting an NCAA tourney. But yet again we find away to generate a story that just craps on the citizens of this state.

Go fly the flag. Hang it in your office. Put in on your car. Show off to everybody how you feel. Be proud about it for some reason. That's your right. I bet you don't do it though because you know how embarrassing it is.

Mar 19, 2017, 7:29 PM

I for one see nothing wrong with the protest this weekend. I am Veteran and I believe part of my service was to protect the rights of all Americans. Even if we don't all agree on the cause. Their right is to protest. As long as it is peaceful and puts no one in danger, then protest away! For some to put down one groups protest over another is very hypocritical. The tournament being in our state is great. But never allow an event to cloud our judgment about the issues. Remember Tiger fans we traveled to Orlando because the NC governor stood up and said that little boys shouldn't go potty with little girls. He did it regardless of the cost to his state. Don't be so quick to condemn people for expressing their feelings. It's their right!!!

Being immune from arrest and prosecution is not the same as being immune from criticism. And when you are clearly trying to embarass a state, city and sew division, the criticism is very much deserved.

hypocritical here. Nobody has said that they don't have the right to protest. Most of us just wish they would stop. It embarrasses some of us that people do these things in our city. That's not hypocritical.

Since you asked, I was against the NAACP protesting 15 years ago. Obviously they had every right to do so, and I fully support that right, but I had a problem with it because they were part of the compromise in 2000 that took the flag off the statehouse...then 2 years later they were protesting/boycotting again. I felt that they should respect the compromise they brokered.

Who are we to try and interpret why someone is doing something? Why do you want to sit back and talk about what a small group is doing in downtown Greenville with a confederate flag? Why would you say that the Confederate flag is a symbol of hate? Just because a small group of people (nazis, skinheads) use it as a symbol of hate. That flag represents the south and southern heritage. It is also used as a symbol for brace men and women who died for the south in the civil war. I guess you would also like to say the Civil War was fought over slavery? A large majority of Southern states joined the war to fight the oppression of the North over taxes for infrastructure and railways amongst other things that did not benefit the southern states. The north used slavery as a tool in the war. Just as the naacp used the confederate flag claiming it as a symbol of hate. Just like liberals are claiming the narrow mindedness of conservatives now. Who is really being narrow minded and not wanting compromise?

And who the heck decided that it represents southern heritage? I represent the south and I represent southern heritage every time that I proudly step out and demonstrate myself as an adult who was born, lives in, and raises their children in the south. That flag does not represent anything other than a failed attempt to secede from the United States. Individuals represent their heritage and their beliefs everyday. The flag is nothing more than an image. Currently there are people standing in downtown Greenville demonstrating that no one can keep them from flying that flag. The only problem with their protest is that no one ever told them that they couldn't.

Calling them idiots is wrong - regardless of what you think. What they believe is okay with me. They did not kill any cops, they did not damage any property, they did not harm anyone, nor did they do anything that was not within their RIGHTS to do so. Some groups do those things, but I never hear too many complain about those "terrorists". I guess that is okay by some people's standards.

That said - an AMERICAN flag flies outside my home right now. A CLEMSON flag flew in it's place until after the NCG. Those are the flags I fly. And I STAND when they play our NATIONAL ANTHEM, and I detest those who kneel during that time.

Mar 20, 2017, 9:13 AM

As someone who had ancestors who fought, were wounded, or died under that flag at Bull Run, Antietam, Chancellorsville, and Petersburg, I have a point to make here. Yes, there is a "heritage" of our Southern manhood marching off to war under that "glorious flag" and winning battles against the odds, but there is another heritage to that "glorious flag". That "heritage" is those same men dying or maimed, and survivors returning home, sick and damaged, to starving families, burned down houses, failed businesses, ruined fields, and women and children mourning their lost husbands, brothers, sons, and fathers. That is also a "heritage" of that "glorious flag". I believe that flag should be flown over battlefields like Ft. Sumter, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg, etc. and Confederate cemeteries, or heck, fly it in your yard if you want to, that is your right, but to me that flag symbolizes nothing more than death and destruction for a bad idea.

"there is another heritage to that "glorious flag". That "heritage" is those same men dying or maimed, and survivors returning home, sick and damaged, to starving families, burned down houses, failed businesses, ruined fields, and women and children mourning their lost husbands, brothers, sons, and fathers. That is also a "heritage" of that "glorious flag" "

Is what I meant

Yes, true of the Revolution, but that was a win. Very few parts of the North were damaged in the Civil War, and again they won. All other American wars have been fought outside our borders.

It's called Freedom of speech or expression! You just used it yourself by referring to those 2 or 3 as idiots and assuming they live in a trailer. Do they not have the right for freedom of speech and expression too? Or do they not have rights because they might live in a trailer. By they way do you associate Confederate Flags and Trailer? Is that not a racist statement? And in General what is wrong with living in a trailer?

Every time someone displays a Confederate Flag in the South many people assume it's about racism. Maybe some fly the Confederate Flag because of their Southern Heritage or they lost a relative in the civil war or they feel it's their right as a Free U S Citizen who is guaranteed Freedom of Speech and Expression under The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. It's those documents our country was founded on and we supposedly live by. However, there are those who try to suppress those Rights given under The Constitution and The Bill of Rights because they such accepting, tolerant people until you have a different opinion.

Every race of people no matter their color, black, white, red, etc... has been treated with racism at some point in history. We can find racism in flags, signs, clothing and numerous other items. Do we ban those items too.

People have become so sensitive about words, symbols, and the past when we should be looking to the future and how we can make life better for everyone.

When did we become a society so sensitive and political correct where you have to measure every single word or action so you don't offend someone. It's sad that ONE word or action can damage a persons reputation or even end a persons career or drastically change their life. And I not talking about a crime, you all know what I mean. Words we used in college in the 80's can get you kicked out now. A man can use the same restroom as my daughter but yet we are worried about a few people protesting with a Confederate Flag!

Instead of worrying about 2 or 3 people exercising their Constitutional Rights should we not focus on the morals of our society and the positive things in life. IMO It's great that Greenville is hosting a part of the NCAA Tournament. Greenville has evolved into a great place to host big events where people can come and have a great time because we have some much to offer.

Why make it about 2 or 3 people when there were 4 or 5 thousand people enjoying some great basketball last night. Even if the Gamecocks won. Lol

Maybe the idiots are those who let a flag cause them to seek a safe space.
