The Second Civil War: A Black Heritage Center Named After a Slaveowner? Is the Confederate Flag Racist?

There were no alerts between Oct. 14 and 19.  I was kind of hoping that meant all this was over and then I could drop this blog, but, alas, no.  The attacks continue.

OCTOBER 19, 2021

**  Plan to melt Confederate statue submitted by Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.  (Charlottesville, Virginia.  Absolutely not.  You know they would make something devoted to the Blacks.  And, why would they have the name of a horrible mean old slave owner in their name?)

**  Potential jurors in the Ahmaud Arbery case  asked:  Is U.S. Confederate flag racist?  

**  U.S. honored Civil War enemies by naming  army bases after them.  Why?

Dems Up to Old Tricks, Is a Confederate Flag Racist? Florida, Virginia

OCTOBER 10, 2021

**  Hoyer, Democrats press Senate to act on removing statues of Confederates, racists from Capitol.  (Can you even imagine a the Democrats, the Party of Jim Crow, doing something like that.  Maybe they want to make amends?)

**   Student suspended for  flying Confederate flag; mom says it's not racism, but history.  (Minnesota.  As long as students with anything BLM also get suspended.)

**  Bill would strike  holidays from state calendar.  (Florida.  Would remove Lee and Davis birthdays and Confederate Memorial Day.  Also would remove any provision against  mutilation or  disrespect for anything Confederate.  (Of course, it is those wily old Democrats again.)

The Second Civil War: Is a Confederate Flag Like a BLM Sign? Minnesota, Alabama, Bruce Lee, and Jacksonville

OCTOBER 6, 2021

**  Student suspended for five days  for flying Confederate flag past protesters.  (Mapleton, Minnesota)  It all started with a BLM sign at a football game and resulted in a protest.  So, BLM stuff is okay, but not Confederate.  Seems a bit biased to me.)

Personally, anytime I see anything BLM, I only think of the rioting, arson and looting that so many BLM events sank to last year. However, I must give the group credit because they haven't been doing that this year.  So, thanks, BLM.

**  'Meltdown in Dixie' coming to SCETV:  explores Confederate flag dispute.

Costs of Removing Statues. Still Spending Money in Alabama. Renaming, Jacksonville and Mississippi

OCTOBER 4, 2021

**  Removing Confederate statue from Springfield Park could cost at least $1.2 million.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  Again, way too much.  Who's looking to get rich?  And, as I have said before, those who want the statue gone should pay for it THEMSELVES.)

**  Alabama spends more than  a half-million dollars a year on a Confederate memorial.  Black historical sites struggle to keep doors open.

A Surprising Democrat. Confederates in the Attic. $2 Million to Remove Lee Statue and the Father of Gynecology

OCTOBER 3, 2021

**  Georgia Dem would rather keep  Confederate monument  than raise  Clarence Thomas statue.  (Of course, Democrats strongly opposed Thomas being appointed as the second black Supreme Court justice back in the day, but George Floyd, you know.  Really hard to believe that a Democrat would take a stand like that.)

**  Confederates in the Attic:  Minnesota schools begin to part ways with  outdated mascots.  (In other words, Confederate-themed mascots, you know.)

**  State says Lee statue removal cost over $2 million.  (Sad R. Of course, the removal was done by a black-owned business whose head person is a close personal friend of Sad R.'s mayor.  Must be nice to have friends in high places.  And, I can't even conceive of it costing that much to remove. Someone's looking for quite the payday.)

**  Alabama city adds Juneteenth as holiday for its employees.  (Prattville.  They also observe the combined Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert E. Lee birthdays.  These two birthdays should not be commemorated on the same day.)

To my way of thinking, those cities removing Confederate holidays and adding black holidays are really rubbing salt in the wounds.

**  The statue of a doctor who  experimented on enslaved  women still stands in Alabama.  (J. Marion Sims, known as the Father of Gynecology.  This statue should be taken down and one for the women he experimented on put up in its place.)

**  Court says Georgia city can ban Confederate flags in parade.  (Alpharetta, Georgia.  Like I said in the last post, it is unlikely we'll get any help from the court systems.

**  PG trustees opt out of signing  Fort Lee name change resolution.  (Prince George County, Virginia.  They want the name changed to Fort Arthur J. Gregg, a black general.  He is deserving of the name change, but let's try not to rename EVERY Confederate-named fort after a black person as some people evidently want to happen.

OCTOBER 1, 2021

**  Deputies looking for suspects who damaged Confederate soldier statue in Newnan, stole pieces of it.  (Newnan, Georgia.  It happened on the night of Sept. 17.  And here I was thinking it was okay to damage a Confederate statue.  Maybe there is hope after all.)

**  Virginia  guidelines for contextualizing Confederate monuments still in works.  (Just remember, the current dogma about "The Lost cause" being a racially based uprising is nothing more than the current beliefs of certain people.  What will it be ten years from now?)

**  Charlottesville will accept offers for Confederate monuments until October 15.  (Virginia.  The only offers they should consider are those from the UDC and SCV.  And all costs for removal storage and relocation should be paid for by the town or, even better, those who wanted them gone.

The Second Civil War: There SPLC Goes Again, making Those Confederate Hit Lists

SEPTEMBER 28, 2021

**  Five Missouri schools have Confederate names, some want to that to change.  (Our good ol' SPLC boys are at it again making their famed "Lists" of names and things they don't like because they are Confederate and thus racist.  Of course, I've always thought that hating any and all things Confederate is a bit racist in itself since Confederates were white people.

Still waiting for that lost of towns and cities where looting and burning took place last year by BLM as well as damage done.  But, kind of doubt it will ever be made as it makes their side look kind of bad.

The five Missouri schools and location:

Breckenridge  Elementary in Breckenridge

Breckenridge High in Breckenridge

MuCullough Elementary in Republic

Price Elementary in Republic

Jackson Park Elementary in University City

I can see a further problem with the two schools in Breckenridge, Missouri.  Can you?

SPLC also says there are Confederate-named schools in  Minnesota (3) California (2) and Washington (1).

Make Those Who Want The Confederate Statues Gone Pay for It. (Removal Costs, Storage, Reinstallation)

**  Advocates raise enough money to relocate controversial Confederate monument in Caldwell County.  (Lockhart, Texas.  The county commissioners said the public would have to pay the $29,600 to remove it.  They have raised that money.

This is what all governments should immediately do when groups demand removal.  Make that hinge of opponents of the statues pay for the removal themselves.  Of course, this cost should also include relocation and reinstalling and maintenance costs of there are any.

**  DeKalb County's 'Indian War' cannon may be removed by county commissioners.  (Georgia.  The cannon is from the 1836 war to remove Indians from Georgia.  Placed by UDC.  As such, has two strikes already against it.  The Confederate memorial has already been removed.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021

**  National Cathedral commissions racial-justice themed windows to replace Confederate  iconography.  (Washington, D.C.  Really.  Now in religion?)

**  Charlottesville  starts next step  in bidding process for Confederate statues.  (Virginia.  There should be no bidding.  The statues should be turned over to the SCV and/or UDC for them to decide what to do with them.  All expenses for relocation should be paid for by Charlottesville, or better yet, those who want them gone.)

**  Monuments  marking end of slavery replace Robert E. Lee statue in Virginia.  (Sad R., of course.  The new city law would seem to be only monuments to Blacks can be put up now.  Eventually, I'm sure Monumentless Avenue will have nothing but black statues.)

**  Input sought for new military base  names, including Fort Belvoir.  (Virginia.  Belvoir was the name of a plantation and you know that means slaves.)
