It's a relief that South Carolina leaders, including Republicans such as Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Lindsey Graham, are finally calling for the removal of the Confederate flag that still flies on the Capitol grounds.
That flag should have been taken down 150 years ago at the end of the Civil War. And political leaders should have stood firmly against the Confederate flag -- and all it stands for -- before the Charleston shooting.
While the Confederate flag is a powerful and problematic symbol, one that should completely be dismantled, taking down the flag is just the first step. What we must do is take down racism

If they were more honest, they wouldn’t be working at CNN....
Liberal sharks detect blood in the water and will now attack much more aggressively.
All you have to do is follow the pattern of the anti smoking lobby. Their mission creep has gone from “Our own section in a restaurant” to virtual criminalization of smoking.
It will never be enough
When every male is forced to wear buttless pants and bend over by law at another mans request, it will still not be enough
When every white is on a leash as servants to non-whites, it won’t be enough
When every child becomes property of NAMBLA, you can bet they will still want more
When the list of banned words and images and political ideas is longer than those allowed, it will still not be enough
When the top tax rate is 150%, yep, not enough

America is about to go through a Reign of Terror and nothing is going to prevent it
Sally, among others things, you are an idiot.
It’s comical that the same folks desperately defending that treasonous flag had no problem with their fav SEC/ACC program banning it when it hurt recruiting. Need those boys to win football games right? It’s silly.
I believe this flag was not flying at the capital, but at a Confederate cemetery/memorial nearby. Removing the symbol for what those men died for is disgraceful. Don’t fly it in a capital building...but at a Confederate memorial?
Taking down the flag is not enough. All southerners must be killed. Then they will be happy.
Look at South Africa. The ANC has all the power, but its still not enough. Before too long, they’ll be just like Zimbabwe. Anything standing in the way of a “people’s paradise” must be due to racism.
The only thing that will be enough is for all white Americans to commit ritual suicide and give all of their stuff to black people.
It should be up to the people of those states (Not dictated by their politicians) beyond that I don’t care what they do but I do know that the left just uses crap like this for momentum.
Sally, Honey, you offend me. I'm a Yankee who has never lived south of Long Island. (That's NY State.) I've been seeing the so-called Confederate Flag for 60+ years now. I never once thought of the things you are NOW thinking of. It's all in YOUR RACIST head. It's a symbol of the South. And you HATE the SOUTH, don't you? Well I don't. You see only slavery. I see honor and independence. You, and people like you, always focus on the WORST of the things you HATE; and then completely IGNORE negative things on people and ideas you support. And maybe that's why I'm growing to LOVE that flag; because I know that enemies of Jefferson, Madison, et al. HATE it.ML/NJ
Y’all need to blow up the Confederacy Monument embedded in Stone Mountain. It’s for the chil’run.
LOL! That’s the day CWII truly kicks off. :=)
If a murderer was gay - and once pictured in front of a ‘rainbow flag’ would the press be screaming to ban the ‘rainbow flag’?
Another braindead liberal feminine-type heard from. If she had an original idea her head would explode.
I’ll take Rose O’Donnell and Whoopi Goldberg, for $2.00, over this blithering bimbo.
She even makes Ed Schulz sound sane, and that a nearly impossible deed.
Come to DC, they already have “replaced the US flag with the rainbow flag”.
After the flag they will go after other symbols of the culture they hate: guns, family, God, private cars, “lily white suburbs “ Wait. They already do.
Don’t you mean “how long before they let it be acknowledged?”
