Treat BLM/Confederate Symbols Equally

JANUARY 11, 2023

**  Black students allege school district banned BLM attire but allowed nooses, c(C)onfederate symbols.  (Effingham, Georgia, schools.  To ban one and not the other goes against my way of thinking.  Either both are banned or both allowed.)

If one is bad, then the other is bad.

**  I take full responsibility  for vandalizing UM's Confederate statue.  (Univ. of Mississippi.  But, it wasn't vandalizing.  It was a hate crime.)

**  Debate over future of c(C)onfederate monument.  (Manatee County, Florida)

**  Remove  Confederate monument in Liberty Cemetery.

**  Confederate monument removed from downtown Bradenton in 2017 may be repaired, brought out of storage.  (Manatee County, Florida)

**  Sylvia approves resolution to ban Confederate imagery from town property.  (North Carolina.  Such a huge surprise.  What will Sylvia's mother say??)

**  Statue at Confederate graves vandalized  at Savannah cemetery.    Placed at Laurel Grove Cemetery in 1879.  Statue of a woman named "Silence."  Spray-painted and broke the statue's hand.   The mayor, a black man, vows to find the people who did this and prosecute them.  Too bad he can't be the mayor of Richmond, Va.  Again, this is not vandalism.  It is a hate crime.)

**  Cemetery vandals hit Confederate markers.  (Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Spray-painted and broke it enough that it can't be repaired.  Lots and lots of obscenities.)

Like I Said, Cemeteries Are Next On the BLM Hit List.  --Old Secesh
