Confederate is a Proper Name Folks!! Some Don't Get It.

MARCH 19, 2022

**  New legislation filed  to speed up removal of c(C)onfederate monuments in Jacksonville.  (Florida.  Come onNews4Jax, PROPER NAME!!!!  And with all the other problems Jacksonville's Blacks face, this is what they're going after.  Really?)

**  Maryland removes its last  Confederate monument of public land.

**  Councilman pushes plan to finally remove Confederate monuments.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  Matt Carlucci, a white man.  Must be a "Woke" white.  At least WJCT News gets the proper name thing.  The statue in question is dedicated to Confederate women.  Women whose lives were turned upside, property looted by Union forces, husbands and sons killed.  Who'd have figured folks could sink so low?)

**  You might notice this Confederate emblem on Lexington's seal.  Town says you won't for long.  (South Carolina)

More School Names. Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and Texas

 SEPTEMBER 18, 2020

**  More than 240 schools in the U.S. named after a Confederate leader.  About half serve majority black or nonwhite students.  (Most, of course, in the former Confederate states.  Many were named while student populations in the 50s and 60s were growing and named as a stance against Civil Rights.

I agree that all schools named after Confederate in the 50s to the present should have the names changed.  Also, if the majority of the students are not white, the name should be changed.  However, the decision should always be left up to the students or parents in these schools.)

**  Fairfax County votes to remove marker of Confederate death.  (Virginia)

**  Petition presented seeking removal of the Confederate statue from court house grounds on Jackson Square.  (Jackson, Georgia)

**  University of Alabama considering removal of Confederate name.   (John Tyler Morgan, Confederate general and later, U.S. senator.)

**  Calloway County attorney:  Fiscal court has authority to remove Confederate statue.   (Murray, Kentucky)

**  Texarkana activists continue efforts  to remove Confederate statue.  (Texas.  Statue to Confederate mothers.)

How Low Will BLM Stoop? Go After Confederate Women. Letting the People Vote On It.

 SEPTEMBER 3, 2020

**  Confederate flag box  hung from tree at Nashville black-owned  business property.  (Tennessee.  At least the business did not have to be worried about being looted or burned as might have been the case had BLM had anything to do with it.  No need to put up a "Black-Owned Business" sign here.)

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

SEPTEMBER 4, 2020

**  Herman:  Battle brewing over  marker at former Confederate woman's home.  (Austin, Texas.  Formerly the Texas Confederate Woman's Home, opened by UDC in 1908.  Blacks want it removed or changed to tell of UDC connection with KKK.  Will the depravity of those supporting Confederadication know no boundaries?  Women?  Come on!!)

**  Judge:  I-64 Confederate flagpole not a monument.  (Virginia.  120-foot pole flying a 30-by-50-foot flag.  Obviously BLM folk want it down so trying to find legal way to take it down.  At least they are not actively trying to destroy it as is usually the case.)

**  Matthews will put Confederate statue up for referendum  in 2021.  (Virginia.  Let the people vote on it.  Too bad they couldn't do it this year.  I will live with what the people say, unlike BLM who won't if they lose.)

Statues Toppled and Lynched in N.C.-- Part 7: How Did the Governor Respond?

So, you're the Governor of North Carolina and Friday night, you find that two hate crimes have been committed.  The first one was on Capitol grounds when the two statues were "toppled" as they like to call it.  I'm sure there had to have been all sorts of BLM, racist and swear words written as well.

Then, the group of "protesters" (really rioters) dragged the statues down the street and strung one up from a light post.  Another hate crime.  Come on, nooses and lynching.  That's a REAL BIG hate crime.  Everybody knows that.

What did Governor Roy Cooper do?  Oh yes, did I mention that he is a Democrat and attended UNC-Chapel Hill.  That might give you a hint.

He used the destruction and hate crimes to do something he has been wanting to do for a long while and that is to remove all Confederate statues from the Capitol grounds.

Saturday morning, official work crews came to the North Carolina Capitol to remove two more Confederate statues.  One statue was dedicated to the women of the Confederacy, and another was placed by the United Daughters of the Confederacy honoring Henry Wyatt, the first North Carolinian killed in a Civil War battle.

Well, what about those rioters committing the hate crimes?  Did he do anything about them?  Or is it okay to commit hate crimes if you're a Black or white minion?

Why did the governor do what he did?

Thanks A Lot, Gov.  --Old Secesh
