Insanity continues: Confederate National Flags removed at Ft Sumter Monument

They aren't even safe in what is essentially a museum.
Also, keep in mind that the battle flag never even flew here.
quote:
The removed flags include the first and second national flags of the Confederate States of America as well as two earlier versions of the U.S. flag. Stone said the four banners had historical ties to the fort, which was surrendered by Union forces in 1861 as the war began but retaken by them as the war wound to an end.
quote:
Stone said the fort’s wayside markers explaining the history behind the fort’s various flags will remain, “but we probably won’t be re-raising them per the director’s policy.”

This wouldn't be a problem if the South hadn't lost, now would it?
Losers.

Ok, that's enough. This insanity needs to stop. Either that or these directors need to grow a pair of balls.

Good. The more trashy flags taken down the better.

I've started noticing more Confederate flags of late. Confederate license plates, displayed at houses. I might get one since they're so popular now. They're pretty.

Wtf this is one of the places that is appropriate to fly them

I'm not a neoconfederate but taking it off of fort Sumter is ludicrous

Warsaw keeps the Nazi flags inside museums not flying outside, even at Auschwitz there are no Nazi flags flying outside

The 2nd National / Stainless banner is a beautiful flag IMO.
Forever tied to Jackson.

God this nation is so fricking stupid.

All of this could have been avoided if the old confederates and bigots of the past happened so admittedly held on to such hateful and twisted traditions. They pulled their hate along with them as the times moved on, and pulled it through every conceivable walk of life.
Now we have its last remaining champions clinging on to it for dear life. For what? What joy does it bring you? Does the discomfort of your fellow citizen, who is honestly hurt by it, mean anything to you? To you get giddy in a defiance or demonstrating your adherence to non compliance and a lack of harmony? What does replacing that flag take away from you.
I really want an answer for that--what do u lose, personally, but putting down that flag.? Seems like you're losing a self of yourself
Ifs it's a symbol of southern pride, why does every other ethnic group that has roots in the south stay clear of it
? Shouldn't we have a flag is representative of all of our southern heritage and just not the one that represents the coloreds "knowing their place?"

Win the war, write the history. South loses the war, and then talks for 150 years about their superior purpose and superior armies, as they wave their silly flag.
Sorry, South: your best just wasn't good enough.

If I had magical super powers I would replace every confederate flag with a photo of Caitlyn.

Did no one else catch that?
Judging by that picture it seems like the only flags they'll fly over the Fort are the current SC state and US flags.
I'm okay with that.

FWIW even DU thinks they went too far with this.

That iOS a museum right? Why wouldn't the flags be flown there?

Unintended goal (erase history) of the SJW leftyloons? They just can't stop themselves.
"Today is history. Today will be remembered. Years from now the young will ask with wonder about this day. Today is history and you are part of it. Six hundred years ago, when elsewhere they were footing the blame for the Black Death, Casimir the Great - so called - told the Jews they could come to Krakow. They came. They trundled their belongings into the city. They settled. They took hold. They prospered in business, science, education, the arts. They came with nothing. And they flourished. For six centuries there has been a Jewish Krakow. By this evening those six centuries will be a rumor. They never happened. Today is history."

The only confederate flag that matters.
