Take down confederate flag, and change street names in public places?

  1. Hopefully someday anything that resembles a rainbow will be taken off the market. All the hate that accompanies that symbol boggles the mind.

    Confederate Graveyard in Durham vandalized
    http://www.wral.com/vandals-tag-confederate-monument-in-durham-cemetery/14748941/

    A monument in Maplewood Cemetery in Durham honoring local Confederate soldiers was vandalized overnight.

    "Black Lives Matter" and "Tear It Down" were spray-painted on the granite marker, which was put up in May to honor all veterans who fought for the Confederacy in the Orange County area during the Civil War.

    Douglas Nash, commander of the Pvt. Lorenzo Leigh Bennitt Camp 773 of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which put up the $3,000 monument, said he was saddened by the vandalism.

    "Black lives do matter. Take it down is definitely not the way to go," Nash said. "It’s not like we are honoring the Nazis who have committed atrocities. The folks from the South were simple folks who felt they were being invaded. It had nothing to do with slavery. It just saddens me to no end to see things like this happen."

    Maplewood Cemetery, off Duke University Road near Duke's West Campus, is owned by the city of Durham, and officials said the gates are locked daily at 3:45 p.m.

    Durham police are investigating the crime.

  3. Some people come out at night and do crimes because they are hard to see at night.

  5. And when you make no effort to communicate, it's harder to see just how bigoted you really are.

    In another fifty years, thankfully I will no longer be here I hope. Cause of abortion being legal and not murder, and cause Caucasian race able to afford it than other races, as we know it will be a minority. By then Muslins will overtake blunt of USA culture. So all those who are shit canning the Confederate Flags and other parts of USA history, most of the our history will be shit canned by the Muslims. There is no end to all the bullshit through the years to wipe clean of our history of coming over from England. But those in their 20s and doing what they think is right and just, you will one day be old and left to die in some nursing home praying to God He takes you soon, of course how many will say there is no God cause no prayer in school or reference in courthouses, you never learned that history repeats it self. By then there will be no more of free speech and you be eating a bowl of rice.
