This is only the beginning! Supporters of the flag need to get over it: the confederacy LOST!

Shoulda came down long ago.

It never should have gone up at all! It also never should have taken 2/3 of the state congressional yeas vote to get rid of it.

And, as that flag was voted down, a county in Florida put one up.

The flag in SC came down. Great! It made us all feel good. It made Blacks feel like de White folk cares. However, it don't mean damn thing if we don't do anything about systemic racism.

It's a step, and hopefully an encouragement for non-voters to change their ways, seeing that the pols they send to their state congress really, occasionally, so something right.
