Heritage gives way to profits.

I’ve eaten at his restaurant in Columbia, SC a few times on my way to VA.
About a third of the folks in there were black.
They have good chow, the NAACP doesn’t.

I’ve been in Maurice’s restaurants and there are paintings from the war of northern aggression and I doubt those will be taken down. If it was all about profit they would have changed their stripes years ago when their barbecue sauce was removed from supermarket shelves because of their views.

I assume you ate their sometime after 1976.

Ive been in Maurices restaurants and there are paintings from the war of northern aggression and I doubt those will be taken down. If it was all about profit they would have changed their stripes years ago when their barbecue sauce was removed from supermarket shelves because of their views. If it was all about the rebellion why change now?

Not in this case, IMO he showing more Southern Heritage by exposing customers to different and still accurate flags of the CSA.

It isn’t about the rebellion. It’s about catering to a specific clientelle.

"Whether, it's the first national or the last national flag, that does not change history, and the intent, and purpose that that group stood for - which was to overthrow the government of America - doesn't change with the garment that they hang off their pole," he [NAACP] said. Unfortunately, your peers lied here. The group wasn't trying to overthrow the government, they were trying to secede from it.

Apparently, Maurice does not do to well in the Court Room.
The USSC forced him to serve African Americans in 1976 and more recently a court would not let Maurice force grocery retailers to sell his sauce.
Must have been some activist judges!

“that does not change history, and the intent, and purpose that that group stood for - which was to overthrow the government of America”
Mr. Randolph must be getting the Confederacy confused with the Black Panthers... I believe the CSA intended to break away from the USA not overthrow it.
To: Non-Sequitur
which was to overthrow the government of America: This is a lie, the Confederate States were never in it to “overthrow the Government in Washington”: MR NAACP better go back and reread his history!..
The people of SC could have cared less what happened in the rest of the USA if the war had been won by the Confederacy!
The CSA on the otherhand was wrongly invaded!

Funny part of it is that blacks were the master of BBQ. From revolutionary times until the 50’s, black servants or slaves were the pit masters. The white overseers would not dirty their hands cooking a beast. After the Civil War, many of the freed slaves opened businesses making and selling BBQ.
Some of the best BBQ I have experienced were made in black establishments.
For my money though, KC BBQ, with the dry rub is the best eating in the world.

I love the LSU version of the flag - it's gold and purple.

The people of SC could have cared less what happened in the rest of the USA if the war had been won by the Confederacy! But they didn't win, did they? That's the problem with starting a war, they don't always turn out the way you had planned.
