Nikki Haley started the statue toppling trend back in 2015…

Absolute Truth

Haley is an anchor baby. She has no respect for US history I guarantee you.

Can’t believe this woman was ever appointed as UN Ambassador. Who the hell did that?

ordering the removal of the Confederate flag

Something she promised would not happen as long as she was governor...

She lost me when she signed the bill to remove the Confederate flag. Funny how tragic events all end up going one way, huh?

Did the removal of the flag fix racism? No, things are demonstrably worse. Did THIS help relations after St. George OD'd on drugs?



No, things only got worse. In fact, this level of sadistic, twisted virtue signaling is about as helpful as politicians wearing Viking helmets after another black thug has randomly shot a white child. It's fricking insulting.

By doing this she showed incredible weakness by giving in to the insane demands. She is not a leader and will sell you out to please the other side, no matter the absurdity.

Your facts are somewhat off. The Confederate flag was put on the capitol dome underneath the American flag and the South Carolina state flag in 1964 as part of the 100th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. Fritz Hollins, a democrat, was our governor at the time and he authorized it.

Sen. Hollins said later, the flag was never meant to remain on the Capitol dome but to be a temporary acknowledgement.

Fast forward to 2015, the removal of the Confederate flag and what to do with was decided by a large group of people from diverse backgrounds.

The flag was removed and placed in front of the Capitol building and is much more prominent now than it ever was on the of the Capitol dome. There was a solemn ceremony complete with Civil War reenactors. It still flies there today.

Even as a staunch Southerner who loves Southern culture and the South, the Confederate Battle flag should have been removed and have never returned once the Democrat KKK took them over as representatations of their racism. One of the other Confederate flags could have been used as historical symbols.

Wiki - Flags of the CSA

The statues of people who servied the South in the Civil War, generally speaking, were great Americans who served America before and after the war and believed in a voluntary union of states (sans the like of William Bedford Forrest who is highly represted in my home town). Apparently, they were wrong if we base it on who won the fight.

Either way, her move was right, but the timing was wrong, because that idiot shooter did not choose that church because of race; he chose it for an easy target when he saw that the local Univesity had armed police.

I'm not wild about Haley, but this is in her favor. The Confederate Flag is an abomination that has no place in civil society. It is the flag of human bondage, and while I believe people should be judged in the context of their times, the Confederacy fails that test. In 1833 Britain outlawed slavery. That was three decades before the American Civil War. Greece had already outlawed it. Western Civilization had long since deemed slavery as an abomination and the Confederacy would not give up this noxious inhuman policy.

Slavery in America before the early 1800's was understandable. It was the way the world always was - always and everywhere. By 1850 it was not okay.
