**  Group wants voters to decide on fate of Confederate monuments in Jacksonville.  (Florida.  In other words, let the people vote on removal.  Of course those wanting them removed won't go for this because about every time it is put to a vote, the decision is to keep them.)

Should Blacks Be Required to Make Reparations for the Role Their Ancestors Played in the African Slave Trade?

MAY 22, 2022  (Lots of 2s)

**  The last two days, there hasn't been any new news reports regarding this relentless attack on Confederate heritage.  This is a great thing.  I sure would like to stop this blog and will if the other side ever stops attacking.

Come on guys, I need a break.

A Virginia County Votes to Let Confederate Statue Remain

MAY 21, 2022

**  Charlotte Co.  votes to not relocate Confederate monument.  (Virginia.  The County Board of Supervisors voted 5-2 to leave it.  Finally, some politicians with backbone.  Better not let certain groups know about this.)

**  Shenandoah considers restoring Confederate school names.  (Virginia)

**  Supreme Court takes up right to sue over removal of Confederate monuments.  (Georgia)

I tell you, Virginia is starting to impress me with the way some are standing up against this onslaught.  I may have to cancel my boycott of that state.  (Not that they would care anyway.)

The Second Civil War: Renaming Those Streets, Referendum? Islamic Involvement, Renaming

MAY 16, 2022

** A civil war among neighbors over Confederate-themed streets.  (Fairfax, Virginia)

**  'Just absurd':  Virginia teen  who passed out at party before racial slurs were drawn on him.  Virginia.  A 16-year-old black student was at a party with his white friends and passed out.  Well, that should be a lesson learned.  Don't drink underage and especially don't pass out.

*************************

MAY 17, 2022

**  Jacksonville City Council pans c(C)onfederate monument referendum.  (Florida.  Wonder why they did that.  Most times the people are allowed to vote on removal, it loses.)

**  CAIR supports  call for Virginia city of Fairfax to drop Confederate street names.  (CAIR is Council on American-Islamic relations.  Again, with all the terrorist activity attributed to Islamic people, should they be saying anything?)

**  Brooklyn's historic Fort Hamilton exercises  federally-mandated edict to banish  Confederate ties.  (General Lee Avenue renamed John E. Warren Avenue.  A well-deserved honor for him as he won a Medal of Honor recipient.)

However, I am just hoping everything is not renamed for a black person.  Come on, there has to be some worthy white folks.

Those Horrible Murders in Buffalo

Again, we have another idiot calling himself a white supremacist who went off track and murdered innocent Blacks in Buffalo, New York, last Saturday.  Another Charleston, South Carolina.  Murder and killing is never the answer.

Too bad he did not do the right thing and remove himself.

He will surely be found guilty and let's hope New York has capital punishment.  He doesn't deserve to live after what he did,  And, I don't care why he did it or if he is insane,  he deserves the death penalty and not one that takes twenty years either.

I see that the idiot in Charleston is still alive also.  Too bad.

Confederate Statues to a Black Museum? I Think Not

MAY 13, 2022

**  Black History Museum saving Confederate statues.  (Sad R.  The five Confederate statues taken from Monument Avenue are going to a black museum.   I sure don't agree with this move.  They should have gone to UDC or SCV.)

**  Confederate Memorial Day event  Saturday.  (Gaffney, South Carolina)

****************************
MAY 14, 2022

**  Today they are the Mavericks, but UT-Arlington once celebrated Texas' Confederate past.  (University of Texas at Arlington.  They were the Rebels.)

****************************

MAY 16, 2022

How about that, no items for yesterday.  That is so pleasant.  Like I said before, as soon as these attacks on the Confederacy end, so will this blog.  I have way too many already.  Of course, with the murders that took place in Buffalo Saturday, I imagine they will be increasing.

Let Those Who Want Monuments Gone Pay for Them

MAY 6th, 2022

**  St. Landry Parish Confederate monument could be removed for free, or at least low cost.   (Louisiana.  I hate to see these contractors making so much money removing Confederate monuments, so this would be a good one.  But, I still say that all costs for removal, storage and relocation should be paid by those who want them removed.  No public money should be used.)

**  Why historians think  Cinco de Mayo   prevented the Confederacy's win in the Civil War.  (Hey, a real Civil War piece here.)

**  Black Tennessee mayor declared April Confederate History Month.  (Livingston, Tennessee mayor  Curtis Hayes.  Think I'll move there and vote for him.  Finally a black politician who is not racist.)

**  Ruining Confederate  Memorial Day:  A Report back from Stone Mountain.  (From It's Going Down.  This is the black racist account of what took place at Sone Mountain.  Clearly shows the goals of the other side.)

**  Judge rules that county owns Confederate statue.  (Owensboro, Kentucky)

**  CAIR welcomes Louisiana House passage of bill dropping Confederate  holidays.  (Council on American-Islamic Relations.  With all the appalling things some Muslim people do it is amazing that they would get involved with this.  Perhaps they should clean up their own house.  After all, what religion are the Taliban?)

**  Heritage and  honky-tonk:  Confederate Railroad front man Danny Shirley stands his ground.  (They come under fire from Blacks and "Wokers," but won't change.  More power to them!)

MAY 3, 2022

**  After initial push, city's effort to eliminate Confederate names loses momentum.  (Austin, Texas)

**  Devon Henry has removed Confederate statues all over  the South.  (Sad R.  He is the one who removed most of the the Sad R. ones.  I did not know he had removed other ones than just Sad R.  In the process, he has made quite a bit of money and being a big supporter of the black mayor of Sad R. didn't hurt either.  He is the one who has had threats made on his life mentioned in the previous post.)

**  Confederate flag outside Ontario house raises concerns about hate symbols.  (Canada.  I will tell you, one definite hate symbol id anything with BLM on it.)

**  Two Bell  commissioner candidates want  Confederate statue removed.  (Texas)
