Did you read the full post Gunnar?
Does it say that the change is being proposed based on the ideals of the ignorant few, the white supremists?
Does it say that the change is being proposed to piss off those who are ignorant in regards to the flag's history and what it symbolizes in its original context?
It doesn't say that. It says that I agree with the politicians calling for the policy change because I don't think South Carolina is a state that's still fighting to subjugate blacks or rebelling against the abolition of slavery. So, I can understand why it's time to stop flying on government grounds a flag that, to many, symbolizes and glorifies that long lost fight.
Can't please everyone and I understand that you don't think it would be a good change in policy, for your own reasons.
I think the policy change may require a 2⁄3 majority vote in state congress. In any case, it's the decision of the state's elected leaders whether it should stay or go.
