I can't believe it's coming down. What a bunch of wimps in our country. There are DOUBLE STANDARDS and if they take this down then they should have to take everything down that's offensive to anyone and everyone! I wouldn't approve of that either but you catch my drift.
This, exactly. . . .When did we become a country that just rolls over and shows our belly for whatever someone wants to shove down our throats??? What's happened to our Southern pride?? I guess we're letting them erase that too. . .
I don't believe you should blame the whole country because SC is run by a bunch of pussies..
Well whenever they're pulling the dukes of hazzard of national television, it involves the whole country.
They didn't pull it from National TV.. They pulled it from a cable channel named 'TV Land'... Run by more people worried about being pussliticly correct.
It is still on tv somewhere? |

Not that I'm aware of. I would assume TV Land still holds rights to it but I don't know how long that will last. I bet it comes back somewhere... |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | Â So we took our sandrail (with Confederate flag) out for a cruise last night. Forgot we had black neighbors down the road. He literally got in his truck, chased us to our house. Got out and yelled at us, with our young daughter standing there. We tried to talk to him saying its wasn't about recism, its freedom of speech. He went on about how we are disrespectful and disgraceful racists. And how be better not drive past his house again. SMH.

I live in Kansas and have a confederate flag on the back of my truck. In High School, my principle called me down and told me to take it off or I will be kicked off school property. I tried to explain it has nothing to do with rasicim. That it represents the Southern States being united. He didn't even let me explain & decided to be "nice" and let me just move my truck off school property.... It's sad how people just assume it means hate. They don't even let you explain what it means to YOU. |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | Had to giggle Saturday, while at a youth rodeo...one of the young boys had on a homemade Confederate flag shirt. I didn't hear one comment about it. All I thought, was "Good for you kid, not afraid to take a stand." Would bet a million $$$ that it meant NOTHING about racism, just a kid that was southern proud. |

Location: wherever my daughter's running | If anyone is familiar with Stone Mountain, GA the NAACP in Atlanta is requesting the carvings of Lee and the others be sandblasted off the mountain. A high school in my area has alwaus been the Rebels. The local NAACP chapter is planning to ask the school to change the name. There is a new "game" in the south where black men run up to houses flying the Confederate Flag and tear them down and steal them. There a lots of rumors about things that are happening that I can't and don't have the time to verify. What I posted is what is being reported by the main stream media - for what that is worth. Roof wanted a race war - he's going to get his wish. What a true disgrace to the 9 lives lost. It is the black sommunity that is stepping up and pushing for the doing away with of anything related to the Confederate Flag. They are pushing fast and furious to erase this part of history. The KKK (without their robes and hoods), the NAACP and another group are all schedule to be at the Statehouse in Columbia, SC this Saturday. Praying this goes well and not the beginning to the actual race war. |

Well I guess we better sandblast George Washington and Thomas Jefferson off Mount Rushmore because they were both slave owners. |

Location: wherever my daughter's running | Â I am sorry I misspoke in my post. It is NOT the naacp that will be at the Statehouse Saturday. It is a group associated with the new black panthers. Our governor has made it very plain that the kkk is not welcome in SC. She has not done the same for the other group leading me to think they must be welcome. I can see no good to come from any of this. The governor has said she wants the Statehouse grounds to be a very lonely place Saturday to not give the kkk any recognition. We shall see if the media and public honor her request.Also, the female senator that captured national attention for her "passionate" speach to take down the flag announced she is "seriously considering" running for the US Senate. She would be running for the seat that represents Charleston Consequence - I think not. Please pray for my state. I don't think I am over reacting when I say I am very concerned about the events on Saturday. Far to much is happening as a result of the flag coming down.Please add law enforcement in your prayer. I know theire are bad apples but there are many more good ones. Their job Saturday at the Statehouse will be trying to say the least.

What is really stupid is that was a pretty decent show. My parents didn't let us watch just any show on TV, Dynasty and Dallas got turned off because they were not suitable for kids to watch according to my parents. We did get to watch Dukes of Hazzard, Little House on the Prairie and a few others. Compared to the crap on TV now, Dukes of Hazzard is a family friendly show, this PC BS is getting way out of hand, some people need to get a life.Â

Have you read Roofs manifesto...........it seems he started his hate with the Trayvon Martin.......and the reporting white on black crime.....
The event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case. I kept hearing and seeing his name, and eventually I decided to look him up.
There were pages upon pages of these brutal black on White murders. I was in disbelief. At this moment I realized that something was very wrong. How could the news be blowing up the Trayvon Martin case while hundreds of these black on White murders got ignored?
I have no choice. I am not in the position to, alone, go into the ghetto and fight. I chose Charleston because it is most historic city in my state, and at one time had the highest ratio of blacks to Whites in the country. We have no skinheads, no real KKK, no one doing anything but talking on the internet. Well someone has to have the bravery to take it to the real world, and I guess that has to be me.
I copied and pasted highlights...........but his rants make me wonder if the media might want to take some responsibility.....we all know white on black crime is way publicized than black on white.....and hardly any black on black.....

 I have not read his msnifesto. I have heard parts of it and I do agree with you about the media. Please don't take what I am about to say as any type of support or excuise for Roof. I am using this as an example I noticed as to the power of the media. When this tragedy was first being reported the media put out the question why is it when a white person commits a crime they are labeled with mental illness - when a black person does the same they are labeled a thug. After that statement was made I saw no mention of mental illness for Roof. |

 We tried. Haha. We weren't going to yell back, its not worth the breath. The guy had very obviously been drinking. We attempted to explain how we felt. He just kept yelling. Turned to storm back into his truck and knocked his shin on his drop down hitch. He came out in a rage but literally limped away. Lol. |
