AUGUST 13, 2022

**  Confederate flag is gone, but new Burlington residents who felt threatened are unhappy with city's response.  (Gosh.  How horrible.)

**  Five years of  steady progress  since 'Unite the Right' rally.  (SPLC.  And that includes all the businesses and stores destroyed by the BLMers in 2020.)

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

AUGUST 14, 2022

**  Luke Combs apologizes for Confederate flag use:  'I am now aware of how painful that image can be'.  (He is a country performer and had a you-know-what flag in a 2015 video.  Now Blacks can feel safe going to one of his concerts.)

**  Fort Jackson has  more Confederate names  than all but three military bases.  (South Carolina.  Streets named for Confederates.  It is named for Andrew Jackson, not Stonewall Jackson, but not on the army's "Hit List" but as you know, he owned slaves, so....)

**  High school student dismantles Confederate flag defense.

**  TCU to research its history with racism, slavery and the Confederacy.  (Texas Christian University)

**  14 Confederate street names  changed with Fairfax  City Council vote.  (Virginia  One was Scarlet Circle.  I fail to see what that has to do with the Confederacy.  Maybe Scarlett O'Hara?  Also changed was Traveler Street.  Lee's horse?  Of course, most likely they'll all be renamed for black people.)

**  Debate  about Confederate flag at center of funding request in Georgetown.  (Delaware)

**  Fort Liberty:  Divided  views on changing Fort Bragg's name.

**  Luke Combs apologizes for Confederate for Confederate flag use:  'I am  now sware of how painful that image can be.'  (He is a big country star.  Where's he been hiding?  Country Music continues its sell-out.)

**  JSAAHC weighs in on Lee statue lawsuit.  (Jefferson School African-American Heritage Center in Charlottesville,Virginia.  They want to "modify" it.  They shouldn't have gotten it in the first place.)

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

JULY 1, 2022

**  Only American  flags, U.S. military symbols in Redmond 4th of July parade.  (Oregon.  That means no Confederate , pride, BLM or MAGA allowed.  That's fair enough.  If we can't have our flag, they can't have theirs.)

**  CMA  Fest bans Confederate flag imagery at  country music fest.  (I wonder of that also applies to the other groups mention in the above headline?  So CMA goes the way of NASCAR.)

Confederadication: That Trace Adkins Guy, NASCAR, Louisiana and Alabama

JUNE 5, 2022

**  Comedian stunned after asking a man in a Confederate  flag shirt if he is pro-slavery.  (Duh.  slavery was abolished with the 13th Amendment in 1865.  Looks like the comedian didn't do too well in history class in school.)

Dumb Old Comedian.  --Old Secesh

MARCH 21, 2021

**  Kenny Wayne  Shepherd's  Music Award nomination rescinded over Confederate flag imagery.  (So?)

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

MARCH 22. 2021

**  Baylor to release  report Tuesday on representations of racist roots.  (Baylor University in Texas.  One of the main things they want is the removal of the statue of Robert Baylor, who founded Baylor.  They may also have to change the name of their school.)

We Is Woke, Baby.  We Is Woke!!!   --Old Secesh

Renaming Schools, Museums. No Flags Here!! Country Music Racist?

MARCH 13, 2021

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

MARCH 14, 2021

**  Should we sell the Confederate statue?  (Owensboro, Kentucky.  Very surprisingly, this is pushed by the local NAACP chapter.)

**  The future of Confederate monuments.  (These are the ones at National Park Service parks.  The editorial was in favor of removing them.  Hopefully not.)

**  Luke Combs shares ways to honor southern heritage  without a Confederate flag.  (Pretty lame way.  He has come under fire for being seen around Confederate flags.  He should just tell detractors where to go.)

**  Luke Combs' Confederate flag apology sparks discourse among country fans.  (There have not been many black country music artists, just like there have not been many white rap, soul urban artists.  However, watching all the black country artists performing on CMT, I'm beginning to wonder.  But country does have the late great Charley Pride and Darius Rucker.)

**  University buildings in Virginia once named  after Confederates now  honour African Americans.  (James Madison University.  Why must all renamings be for Blacks?  Aren't there any whites who deserve names on buildings?  From the Washington Post -- and we know where they stand on these issues.  The Post points out that the school is named for the country's 4th president who also owned you-know-what.  Guess what the Post would like to happen?  Welcome Woke University East or the Harriett Tubman University.)
