“”Thank you Nikki Haley.””

What is that supposed to mean?

They would have to get rid of the Arlington Cemetery too because that land was once owned by General Robert E. Lee.

Erasing history never ends well, there is no stopping once you started it.

Why our side doesn't holler about him and Shillary is beyond me.

Al Gore's dad was the one who raised the Confederate flag over the capital of TN.

Skitch Hollins, D Sinator, was gov of SC and did the same.

“”They would have to get rid of the Arlington Cemetery too because that land was once owned by General Robert E. Lee.””

I was getting ready to post how about The Arlington House - Robert E. Lee Memorial? That probably should be torn down. They could use that land to build housing for the disenfranchised as soon as they can determine just who that is.

Do they want to go through Arlington cemetery also and disinter those who served in the Confederate Army?

What about the Stone Mountain carvings? They can try that again since they never got very far with it the last time.

Just found this. Reminds me of an old old song...

http://www.naacp.org/press/entry/naacp-mourns-the-passing-of-u.s.-senator-robert-byrd/

Round de meadows am a ringing
De darkeys’ mournful song,
While de mocking-bird am singing,
Happy as de day am long.
Where de ivy am a-creeping
O’er de grassy mound,
Dare old massa am a-sleeping,
Sleeping in de cold, cold ground.
Chorus:
Down in de cornfield
Hear dat mournful sound:
All de darkeys am a weeping
Massa’s in de cold, cold ground.

Who will do that to her? Her own? That’s a laugh. We all know it won’t be any republican. They are too busy shaking in their boots.
