I know you like to take the easy way out with your faux outrage over all the slack-jaws waving the battle flag in your face, but I would wager that you are looking for things to vent your pent-up anger over.
im not outraged or angry at all
There is a local bbq chain here in Columbia, the owner of which loves to display the battle flag (along with various anti-Lincoln tracts and revisionist civil war literature) in his restaurants. He also happens to be an avowed known racist. Quite a coincidence eh?
The extent of my outrage? - I dont eat there. (the bbq is shitty anyway, ftr)

And to denigrate the entire populace who honor the service of their CSA soldier ancestors is beyond disgraceful.
OK, then I'm just criticizing the 99% of people who put the flag on their car, motorcycle, tshirt or whatever without a single thought of any honorable soldiers. You and I both know the real reason they love it is because its a thumb in the eye to black people. Cmon, be honest.

Maurice has semi-retired and my understanding is a family member (son?) is running the business now. I believe the flag has been removed from most / all the restaurants.
I followed his situation closely and saw nothing that led me to believe he was an 'avowed racist.' The NAACP got its panties in a bunch mainly from a tract he had in a restaurant that dared suggest that in the end there was somewhat of a silver lining to slavery in that the black race was able to come to the US in a significant number.
PS - Black folks like to eat at Piggy Park also.
But please, continue to overstate things for people in Louisiana who might not be familiar with the situation.
