AvastSouth Carolina is pretty divided upon the continued flying of the Confederate Bars because the political nature of the states is something unique compared to most of the world.
Yes, unique because they tried to secede in order to keep black people enslaved.
AvastMany South Carolina residents see the flag as part of its history and something to remain due to its nature as historical and political legacy.
Its legacy as seceding in order to keep black people enslaved? Yeah let's keep that legacy going.
AvastMany other residents see it as something reminiscent of slavery and not appropriate or something to be remembered regardless of its historic value.
It has no historic value unless taken as a mark of shame, it is analogous to the swastika in every conceivable way.
AvastEither way arguing over the flag is really dumb in this thread as its most definitely there though but hotly debated.
There is nothing dumb about pointing out that the South still maintains a level of pride in their history of racism, fascism, and terrorism that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of American citizens, which has helped create a culture that allows Dylann Roofs to exist.
