I understand the country was divided.

Still is. Threads like this and the mountain of Trump threads prove it. Divisions within divisions....

The posters on this thread cannot even agree on what the article is about. I put some of the blame on the author of the article. I don't like the way he lays out his thoughts. He does have one main point, but he is all over the place in presenting it. The title is, "Blacks and the Confederacy" with an accompanying photo of the Confederate battle flag. The author is saying that it is wrong, for blacks, to want to do away with that flag. He says that many of the ancestors of those blacks fought under that flag and that to dishonor that flag is to dishonor their own ancestors.

Anthony Hervey is the latest casualty of the recent unpleasantness. It seems to me that Hervey had a fair perspective on the unpleasantness. The thugs who ran him off the road are obviously products of the current distorted culture.

I remember when that happened this summer. I wouldn't have thought of it again unless the article above was posted. But, it is a very good illustration of the extent to which a certain faction of our times will go to "replace" our true heritage with their own purposeful revision.

Now that I am thinking more about it this morning, as my first cup of coffee gets cold, the death of Anthony Hervey is an absolute travesty. I hope a Confederate Battle Flag flies above his gravesite.

Although, a day doesn't go by anymore without these types of travesties.
