The Confederacy Under Attack: Philadelphia, Party City, Georgia, Charlotte, Jews, Oregon and Mississippi

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020

**  Confederate monuments are falling across the nation, but in Philly, a memorial to Southern troops still stands.  (Philadelphia, Pa. It is in the National Cemetery.)

**  'Party City (business) removes Confederate soldier Halloween costumes:  'We can and must do better.'  (Another case of the Black Rule.  The Black Rule means that all it takes is one black person to object to something to have it removed.  In this case it was a white mother with two adopted black children who found the costumes to be  offensive.)

**  People voice opinions about Confederate monument in town hall meeting.  (Georgia)

**  Charlotte's monument to a Jewish Confederate was hated even before it was built.  (Charlotte, North Carolina.  Judah P. Benjamin had no connection with the city other than a week he spent there while the Confederate government was fleeing after Sad R. was captured.)

**  Oregon  Department of Education bans Confederate flags from school grounds.  (My question is if they also banned anything with BLM on it because that stands for rioting, looting, hate crimes and arson.)

**  Majority Black school closer to shedding Confederate name.  (Jackson, Mississippi.  Enrollment at Lee Elementary School is 96% Black.  The sooner the name is removed, the better.  It should have been changed a long time ago.)

Obscenities and Even a Halloween Black Rule? Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida, U.S. Capitol, Missouri and Virginia

 SEPTEMBER 21, 2020

**  Alabama Archives faces its legacy as Confederate 'attic.'     Too much Confederate stuff.   Bad,  Bad, Bad.

**  Fort Mill connector road will honor memory of former slave.  (South Carolina)

**  Trump supporter yells 'f--- black lives' during North Carolina parade, video shows.  (Elon University.  Of course, that is nothing compared to the obscenities shouted by BLMers and their white minions.  And, they also write "f---"  all over Confederate statues and usually spell it correctly.

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

SEPTEMBER 22, 2020

**  Future of Confederate general statue remains undecided.  (Florida.  Statue of Confederate General Kirby Smith at the National Statuary Hall in U.S. Capitol.  Want to replace it with statue of black woman.  I agree with its removal.

**  Jefferson City Council pushes back vote to remove Confederate monument.  (Missouri)

**  Arlington mom shopping for  daughters' Halloween  outfits shocked to find Confederate soldier children's costumes at party store.  (Virginia.  Of course. There must be something wrong with the water in Virginia for all those white people to turn like that.   A white mother of two adopted black children was offended because of two Confederate children's costumes offered for sale.  Hey lady.  Then don't buy it.  Sadly, Party City no longer sales them.

I Guess This Is An Example of a White Woman Using the Black Rule.  --Old Secesh

In case you're wondering, the Black Rule is that all it takes is for one black person to be offended for something to be removed.

Do You Think U.S. Army Base Names Have Become a Hot-Button Issue? Justin and Taylor Sign In. "Fame" Gone

JULY 7, 2020


**  N. Carolina's 'Fame' Confederate monument taken down.  (Salisbury  Too bad as it was a really beautiful sculpture.)

**  Lawmakers  consider spending $1 million to strip all Confederate names  from US Army bases.  (Here's a better idea.  How about having those people who want the names removed come up with the money and use no public funds.  Hey guys, put your money where your mouths are!!)

**  Change Confederate  military names  to honor those who  fought for America.  (Well, the situation here is that most of them did fight for the United States before the Civil War and did so honorably.  However, since they did fight against the United States I am in favor of removing the names.)

**  It's time for a change, at Fort Lee and other Army posts named for Confederate officers.

**  Confederate statue at Raymond Courthouse  may move after black citizen pleads case to supervisors.  (Hinds County, Mississippi.  What did we say about The Black Rule.  You know, where all it takes is one black person to be offended to start removal proceedings.  It also appears that the entire county board of supervisors are Blacks.  Of course, they could save some time and call in the BLMers and their white minions who would then desecrate the statues with obscenity and topple them.   Problem solved.)

**  Justin Timberlake  calls for 'disgusting' Confederate statues to come down.  (How come he didn't say anything about this before?  Is he just becoming aware  of their existence.  I don't know how much I can believe a guy involved with a wardrobe malfunction.  Maybe he will do a "Silent Sam" toppling.)

**  Taylor Swift can't stand 'racist historical' monuments in Tennessee:  'Villains don't deserve statues.'  Likewise with Justin, except for the wardrobe malfunction.  Confederate soldiers as villains?  Villains usually rob people much like the occupying army in the South did to the citizens there.  Is she talking about Union statues in the North?)

**  Grassely:  Senate would 'probably' override Trump veto of defense bill amid base renaming fight.

**  Trump's racism is blatant, but the culture he defends  comes out of the Civil War  and goes well beyond racial division.  (CounterPunch)

The Black Rule: Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, South Dakota and North Carolina

JULY 3, 2020


**  Officials delay decision on Kentucky Confederate statue.  (Owensboro)

**  Mississippi's Confederate flag is gone--   but a legacy of white supremacist  policy remains.

**  Under pressure, South Dakota police  emblem with Confederate  flag gone from view.  (Gettysburg, S.D.  At the request of George Floyd uncle.  This is an example of the "Black Rule."  All it takes is one Black to "request" something offensive be removed before spineless politicians cave in.)

**  Lee button  found in time capsule under Confederate monument.  (Raleigh, N.C.  Found under monument ordered removed for "public safety."  Well at least one good thing comes out of it. Hopefully time capsules will be found in the former Monument Avenue in Richmond.

I really hope the removed monuments, statues and memorials will not be destroyed or just "put away" forever.)

**  Four Confederate monuments to be removed in Fulton County.  (Pennsylvania)

More Confederate Symbols Have been the Victim of "The Black Rule."  --Old Secesh

Now IndyCar? Keep the Obscenities. Arizona, Democrats and a Strange Preservationist

JUNE 13, 2020

**  'A slap in the face':  Black veterans on bases named for Confederates.  (From the N.Y. Times a paper notorious for its anti-Confederate venom.  I am wondering why we're just hearing about the feelings of black veterans now?)

**  GOP-led panel  moves to remove Confederate names on military assets amid Trump's opposition.

**  IndyCar flagman fired for criticizing NASCAR for  banning Confederate flag.

(You can't even be against them in private?  What is this country coming to?  I have attended the Indy 500 since 2012 and just yesterday told the folks I go with I wouldn't be going to this year's because of the virus.  I hadn't seen this until this morning, like I said, I am WAY behind, but this news also would have probably caused me not to go.  Sadly, it was just one NASCAR racer, a black man, who wanted the flag gone and then it was gone.  The power of one black person these days.)

**  Tear the Confederate memorials down.  Keep the graffiti.  (Well at least they spelled the swear word F____ correctly.  Would you really want to leave that up?  Lots of hate crimes on those statues and pedestals.)

**  Ducey calls for 'public process'  to decide fate of Confederate  monument at state Capitol.  (Arizona.  Don't worry, just wait until the next BLM "protest."  It'll come down then.  I didn't even know Arizona had a Confederate monument.)

**  Biden supports  removing Confederate names  from US military assets.  (A Democrat saying that?   Unbelievable!!)

**  After years of debate, Confederate symbols disappear quickly.  (And very illegally, but what does that matter anymore.)

**  A preservationists call for a future without Confederate monuments.  (That kind of goes against preservation, doesn't it.)

**  Pelosi:  Confederate symbols 'have to go' from Capitol, bases.  (Again, a Democrat saying that?  Who'd have believed that would happen.)

**  Booker, Lee re-introduce the Bicameral Bill to remove  Confederate statues from the Capitol.  (Both Democrats.  I just can't believe that.)
