South Carolina officially and formally furled the Confederate flag from the State House grounds today, Friday, July 10, 2015. Even a descendant of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, Jenny Horne, was all for it. She called the flag "a symbol of hate". The catalyst for this unforeseen event was last month's cold-blooded white terrorist killing of black parishioners following a Bible Study.
I also like to regard this - and doubtlessly future Confederate flag removals - as pay back for "Redemption," the (southern)Democrats' successful dismantle of Reconstruction policies & implementation of Jim Crow laws which effectively dictated racial bearings in American society for over a century following the Emancipation Proclamation.
