Why Did It Take So Long for Some People to Realize They Didn't Like Those Pesky Confederate Statues?

AUGUST 2, 2020

**  Group organizes 'Save the Confederate statue' in Owensboro.  (Kentucky.  Nice to see some people not letting BLM run roughshod over them.  Of course, when you have a pro-statue demonstration, BLM is apt to show up and cause a confrontation.)

**  The above statue has been in front of the Daviess County Courthouse for 120 years.  (I have to wonder why it took black people so long to figure out they didn't like it?)

**  BLM billboard next to Confederate flag to be removed.  (Pittsboro, Chatham County, N.C.)

**  Trump in leaked conversation bragged about retweets for defending Confederate history.

**  Fort Mill hears 2 opposing views on Confederate Park.  here's how Mayor Savage responded.  (Fort Mill, S.C.)

**  Parker County's decision to keep Confederate statue sparks protest Sunday morning.

**  Analysis:  Mississippi group  aims for simple flag design.

**  Bernard Schoenburg:  LaHood lone Illinoisan to vote against bill to remove  statues in D.C.  (There are five Republican representatives from Illinois which means four of them sided with the Democrats.  Mustn't side with Democrats.)
