Ask Amy, Something Mighty Fishy in Sad R. If the Confederate Flag is Offensive in School, What About BLM Items?

NOVEMBER 10, 2020

**  Ask Amy:  Friend's Confederate flag-waving hard to ignore.  (Have we come to this, Dear Abby?)

**  City leaders to discuss renaming Confederate Avenue.  (Sad R..  As we know from the previous post, they not only discussed it, they did it same night.)

**  Texas students disciplined for wearing Confederate clothing to school.  (All schools need to also ban anything BLM as this organization is as hateful and racist as any Confederate flag.  Plus, BLM is responsible for numerous riots, looting and burning.  Let's make it fair.)

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

NOVEMBER 11, 2020

**  Group raises massive Confederate flag over I-40 after residential election.  (North Carolina)

**  Prosecutor decides to investigate $1.8 million contract to remove Richmond's Confederate statues.  (Sad R.  There was definitely something mighty fishy going on there.  I can't help but wonder how the vote would have been on removal had this been allowed to go to a public vote instead of left up to the BLM supporters.)

The Second Civil War: Charlottesville/Albemarle County, Va. Vies With Richmond for Sad. Taking 'Em Down

AUGUST 15, 2020


**  Pro Confederate monument protest to take place in Augusta.  (Georgia)

**  Albemarle County bans Confederate imagery from school dress code.  (Charlottesville is in Albemarle County, so this is no big surprise.  Let's just hope this ban will also include offensive clothing like BLM.  If not, I hope someone makes it an issue.)

The schools are also changing the names of schools.  At least one school's name will be changed despite a long career of education because of a man's opposing integration.  Just because you oppose integration this does not automatically make you a bad person.

**  Confederate symbols tracked since Floyd's death.

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

AUGUST 16, 2020

**  One place Confederate battle flags are still allowed in military: tattoos.

**  Giles County juries deliberate  in a room dedicated to the Confederacy.  A black man doesn't like it.  (Tennessee)

**  More than fifty Confederate symbols moved, taken down in wake of George Floyd's death, study says.

** Contractor begins prepping  St. Augustine Confederate monument for relocation.

The Confederacy Under Attack: A Split in Virginia, and a New Poll

January 14, 2010

**  Franklin County declines to ban Confederate flag in dress code.    (Virginia)  I guess at least something has to come out of Virginia these days.  The only board member to vote against the issue was a black woman.  Five other Blacks spoke against allowing the flag on clothes.  Big surprise there.

**  Virginians deserve to have local control over Confederate monuments.  Well, I agree with this, but it would have to be put before a public vote in order to remove one.  Should the vote be to remove the monument I would go along with it.  We can't leave it up to spineless politicians who are so afraid of the Blacks and their white minions.  Also, we can't leave it up to the courts.

**  What the Confederate flag means in America today.  (YouGov)  They took a poll of 34,000 and found that 41% say it represents racism.  34% say it is heritage.  This was across the whole United States.  The poll also included Blacks.

Charlottesville Heats Up, A New Confederate Hate Group, Those Racist Monuments

December 31, 2019

**  Students lead protest over Confederate flag, dress code.  (North Carolina high school)

**  Sign marking Confederate history  is one of the latest  to disappear in NC, officials  say.  (Greensboro, N.C.)  This one is about the Confederate cabinet fleeing after Appomattox.  The other is about UNC-Greensboro.  More action by Confederate-haters?

**  Hudson launches campaign to support Confederate  monuments bill.    A newly elected state legislator (called Delegates in Va.) and she is a white person.  We always need to know what race people are who do these things.  (Charlottesville, Va.)

By the way, the Robert E. Lee statue there is shown in the news report and it sure looks like Mr. Wiley copied this statue.

**  Confederate flag license plate leads to firefighter's lawsuit against county.  (Montgomery County, Maryland)  Claims other firefighters harass him because he is black and a Muslim.

**  New coalition demands state cede control of Confederate monuments.  (Charlottesville, Va.)  Evidently this group calls itself Monumental Justice Virginia and one of the leaders is a former city councilman who is a Black.  Of interest, they note that there are 220 Confederate monuments in Virginia.

**  The escalating fight over racist monuments in the South.

**  Monumental Justice Virginia campaign rally held at Free Speech Wall in Charlottesville.  Mostly white people there.

**  Campus safety will be a key issue  for UNC leaders and students in 2020.  (Yes, we must insure that no student gets hurt when they are committing a hate crime and pulling down an offending Confederate monument.  Maybe they should also look into protecting innocent statues from hate-based attacks.)

So, Do We Have A New Hate Group?  --Old Secesh

**  'Winning the lottery':  Silent Sam settlement will vastly increase Confederate group's coffers.

**  In Memphis, a shadow lifted, a legacy carried.
