Confederadication: Fort Benning Lynching, Charlotte, NASCAR, Bubba, Maryland and North Carolina

AUGUST 4, 2021

**  Fort Benning memorializes soldier lynched 80 years earlier at the post as Army acknowledges an injustice.  (Georgia.  A horrible thing.  Imagine, this was a U.S. soldier who was lynched.  Hope they also reopen the case.)

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

AUGUST 5, 2021

**  Rally to call for removal of Confederate statue, one of the last in Mecklenburg County.  (Charlotte, North Carolina.)

**  Confederate flags,  drones, cigarettes.  What you can and can't  bring to Go Bowling at the Glen.  (NASCAR Race.  Got to make Der Bubba happy, you know.)

**  Confederate streets in Potomac renamed  after black historical figures Geneva Mason and William Dove.  (Maryland.  Why do all Confederate streets have to be renamed after Blacks?)

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

AUGUST 6, 2021

**  Community activist receives threatening letter hours before Confederate statue rally.  (Charlotte, N.C.  That should not have happened.)

**  Protesters call for removal of Confederate statue in Cornelius.  (North Carolina)

Lynching Memorial Okayed for Mississippi Town. No More SCV Vanity Plates in NC. North Carolina, South Carolina, Hate Crime and Confederate Flag

FEBRUARY 2, 2021

**  Lynching memorial approved for Lafayette County Courthouse.  (Oxford, Mississippi.  Seven black lynchings occurred in the the county, (three at the square or near it).  I am all in favor of any historical monument, even one showing the sad side of human nature.  The Confederate monument in the square still stands so it is okay with me as long as this is paid for by private citizens, not the town.)

**  North Carolina stops issuing Confederate license plates.  (These are Sons of Confederate Veterans plates. As long as they take a look at others that some might find offensive.  Hopefully there are no BLM license plates.  I see there are quite a few black fraternity and sorority plates, but since they advance education they are okay.)

**  Pasquotank to talk  future of Confederate monument in Monday meeting.  (North Carolina)

**  Police:  Charleston Battery  Confederate monument vandalized.  (South Carolina.  The Confederate Defenders monument.  BLM written on it.  This is not vandalism.  This is a hate crime.)

**  Pitt County commissioners vote to move Confederate statue that was removed last year from courthouse.  (Greenville, North Carolina.  It will be moved to private property.  The movement should be paid for by those wanting it gone.  No public funds should be used.)

**  Sons of Southern Cross sue Van Buren mayor over Confederate flag at Christmas parade.  (Arkansas.  They can't have the flag in parade.)

The Confederacy Under Attack: VMI, Gettysburg, A.P. Stewart, Arkansas and Lexington

OCTOBER 18, 2020

**  At VMI, black cadets endure lynching  threats, Klan  memories and Confederate veneration.  (Virginia Military Institute.  If this is true, the offenders should be kicked out of school.  There is no room for that behavior at any school, especially a military one.

**  The battle fought at Gettysburg is far from over.

**  Letters to the Editor:  A.P. Stewart wasn't divisive, but the crusade to remove Stewart's bust is.  (Hamilton County, Tennessee)

**  Confederate past still remembered all around the state.  (Arkansas.  List of the status of Confederate monuments around the state.)

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

OCTOBER 19, 2020

**  Letters to the Editor:  Your View:  What our Confederate monument means.

**  Lexington Confederate monument to be placed on private property in Davidson Co.   (North Carolina.  Unfortunately, I am sure the BLMers will find it and desecrate it.)

West Virginia, Mississippi, Trump, A Partial List, Lynching Confederate Statues, NC "For Public Safety"

JUNE 21, 2020

**  West Virginia, born out of the Civil War, grapples with Confederate monuments.

**  Mississippi bishop joins call for removal of Confederate flag from state's flag.  (Episcopalian)

**  Protesters fell Confederate monument in DC, provoking Trump's fury.

**  Confederate statues are coming down following George Floyd's death.  here's what we know.  (A list of downed Confederate statues in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Richmond, Louisville, Jacksonville, Birmingham, Montgomery, Alexandria, Nashville, Mobile, Frankfort, Decatur, Raleigh, Washington DC, and Bristol, England.  (A whole bunch of cities now on my boycott list for awhile until I forgive them.  I have written about most of these removals in this blog.)

**  NC protesters hang Confederate statue from post.  (Isn't the noose something white supremacists use?)

**  Wrapped up in the Confederate flag  (Washington Post.  It has to be a negative article.)

**  Confederate group dressed in rebel flag garb confronts protesters  at Gulfport monument.  (Mississippi.  There have been very, very few anti rioters protests.  This, fortunately sounds like it was fairly peaceful considering that those who want the statues down are somewhat violent and hateful.)

**  Gulfport, Mississippi City Council voted unanimously to remove the state flag.

**  NC governor on Twitter announces removal of all Confederate statues on Capitol grounds for "public safety."  (Before Floyd, I would have been very upset, but now, since the various governments and police will not protect them from the BLMers and their white minions, I am for the removal of all Confederate monuments in public places everywhere.)

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

Statues Toppled and Lynched in North Carolina-- Part 6: And, I Thought Nooses Were a Hate Crime

Two statues of two Confederate soldiers that were part of a larger obelisk were torn down Friday night by rioters in Raleigh, North Carolina.   (With all the practice they got pulling down the "Silent Sam" statue at UNC-Chapel Hill, they really know how to do this.  It was another example of we don't have to follow the law anymore.)

Police initially stopped the rioters, but after the area was cleared, the rioters returned and finished the job.  They dragged the statues down the street and STRUNG ONE UP BY THE NECK from a light post.  (Wait a minute, isn't a noose and lynching considered a hate crime?  And they weren't arrested.  I wonder what NASCAR Bubba and all his buds would say about this?)

Lynching and nooses must be a new one of those black things where they can use them, but Whites can't.  Kind of like the "N" word, you know.

Next, North Carolina's governor reacts to this.  Did he order various law enforcement groups to go out and arrest the perpetrators?  I mean, after all, they had committed not one, but two hate crimes.  (Attacking a Confederate statue and the "lynching.")  You'd think that was a rather serious thing.  Wouldn't you?
