Afterthoughts on the Lowering of the Confederate Battle Flag in Columbia

Yesterday afternoon I heard a black civic leader in Columbia, South Carolina being interviewed about the just completed removal of the Confederate Battle Flag from the statehouse grounds. The lady from FOX who did the interview wanted to know about the satisfaction experienced by the black leader in light of the events that had just unfolded.

Her interviewee expressed his elation and mentioned the “unbelievable joy” that overwhelmed the black crowd that gathered to see the hated flag come down. “We all hugged each other,” he explained. “We would no longer have to look at it.” This negative reaction to the flag was also expressed by black legislators during the deliberations in the South Carolina senate. The listener was made to believe that American blacks were enduring a continuing nightmare that had created severe emotional problems. It seems this neurasthenia would go on until the hated cloth was dragged down, not only in South Carolina but everywhere else it was displayed. Presumably black crime and social dysfunctionality would also plummet, as all traumatizing symbols of the Confederacy were antiseptically purged.

  1. Fact: the first black slave in America was owned by another black!

    The first slave owner was a black man by the name of: Anthony Johnson who owned the slave named John Casor in the 1650's.

    Another fact is that in the South there were many slave owners who were they themselves black. Let us not forget that no confederate Flag flew over the slave trader ships.... however, the US flag did! In the 1960's it wasn't the confederate flag marched through Washington DC by the KKK, but once again the US flag!

    Do not forget that the Confederate Flag was actually the South fighting the North against the same tyranny that the 13 colonies fought to free themselves from the British... iee EXTORTION through taxation...... Lincoln and the North was trying to impose 40% tariffs on the South. The Confederate flag was the symbol in the fight against FEDERAL TYRRANY...... NOT SLAVERY!

    The North themselves had 20-33% of all the slaves during the Civil War! If the North was fighting to free slaves from the South why did the North not release the slaves in the North? Why did 1000s of slaves fight for the South?

    The truth is the slaves that came from Africa were sold by other blacks who saw the ones they were selling as inferior blacks to them!

    Last but not least is the Fact that LINCOLN was undoubtedly RACIST, yet no one is trying to remove all his statues and monuments!!! Lincoln speeches before during and after the Civil War made it clear that the Civil War was not about slavery.... in fact he was in favor of slavery and saw all blacks as inferior. The Civil War was on the right of the Southern States to secede from the North, or rather the UNION!

    LEARN THE TRUTH... DON'T ACCEPT WHAT YOU WERE TAUGHT BY THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.... AS THEY TEACH EVERYTHNG SKEWED TOWARDS HOW THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE! RESEARCH AND LEARN THE TRUTH, LEARN THE FACTS, ARM YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE!

  2. You left out the fact that the South freed the slaves in 1861-62. The north didn't free the slaves until 1865.

      I don't know where this came from unless:

      Yet while Lee was penning his letter to Davis he was signing and delivering the deed of manumission to the three hundred Custis slaves. This act antedated Lincoln's proclamation by three days; Lincoln's proclamation became operative January 1, 1863, Lee's manumission papers had been in effect since December 29 (1862) previous.
