About Those Other 'Confederate' State Flags. You Can't Eat Here If You're Confederate. Ole Miss. About Sad Richmond's Mayor

AUGUST 20, 2020


**  Mississippi's flag changing but Confederate symbols  persist in five other state flags.  (This one includes the North Carolina state flag.  Plus, of course, there is also that Norwegian Confederate flag.)

**  Residents weigh in on Confederate statue's place in Lovingston.  (Nelson County, Va.)

**  City of Lexington files lawsuit regarding removal of Confederate monument.  (North Carolina.  The city wants it gone, but it is on county property and the county won't remove it right now.  So, there is more than just bbq in Lexington.)

**  Wake Forest restaurant responds to backlash after denying Confederate group space.  (North Carolina.  Forks Cafeteria.  Sons of Confederate Veterans.  Just remember, if you let BLM use the place, they might start looting or rioting.  At least SCV won't do that.  Okay, you don't want our business, we'll meet and eat elsewhere.)

**  Gainesville  County Commissioners vote  to keep courthouse  Confederate monument.  (Texas.  Wow, how'd that happen?)

**  UM installs  green fencing to shield  Confederate statue from practice field.  (University of Mississippi.  The statue was removed from the center of campus recently to a Confederate cemetery.  Some black football players objected to the new location because they could see it when practicing.)

**  Investigation into mayor's  Confederate monument removal contract requested.  (Sad Richmond's Sad mayor's choice for company to remove statues may be questionable.  It should be looked into further.)

About That Racist Incident at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Naperville, Illinois

There is a whole lot about this story in the Chicagoland media.

Last weekend, a group of Blacks came into the Buffalo Wild Wings in Naperville and were asked to move because a white person there did not want to be seated next to Blacks.  The people at the restaurant had the black folks move.

This is almost unbelievable in this day and age that something like this would happen.  I thought we'd come a long way from when Blacks could not eat in restaurants with Whites.

I am glad the Blacks made a big thing about it as well they should.  The managers and employees at the Wild Wings have been fired and the white customer is no longer allowed to come inside.
