A symbol of hate WAS flying above our state.
Waving in the wind a symbol of sin.
It's a meaning of hate to one race and
a meaning of joy to another race.
A symbol of bigotry shouts one boy
a symbol of pride shouts another boy.
Blacks and white stand together and fight,
deciding to remove this hateful sight.
To the history book this flag belongs,
with all its meaning, we say so long.

A symbol of hate or just a flag. It was just a Confederate War flag. We're more hung up on symbols than we are the actions of men. Seems nobody was worried about that flag until that insane Dylann Roof *****.
Removing that flag has done nothing for crime or those who commit them.
And the rest of this comment I quote African American Allen West:
"Yippee, the Confederate battle flag has now been removed from the grounds of the South Carolina State Capitol. And, just like that, it solves the problem of black-on-black crime and killings. Now we’ll see the out-of-wedlock birthrate in the black community drop from 75%. There will be better educational opportunities and schools in South Carolina’s black communities and all across America. The black unemployment rate will drop —especially the almost 40% black teenage unemployment rate. We’ll now see an economic entrepreneurial boon in the inner cities because the Confederate battle flag’s been lowered. And there’ll be no more gangs of blacks beating on whites — as we saw in Ohio recently. Yep, the liberal progressive media shouted "squirrel" and an entire nation went a running. All the yelling and shouting by the crowds was evidence of those who lack grace, respect and dignity. Former South Carolina Gamecocks football coach Lou Holtz remarked that when you get to the end zone, you should act like you’ve been there before. So what does the lowering of the Confederate battle flag have to do with the killing of little seven-year-old Amari Brown in Chicago — anyone know when his funeral is? " |
