In reply to you can still buy one and fly

The use of the ISIS comparison would be more compelling if in addition to lowering the rebel battle flag from seats of state government we hunted down and killed people who had a problem with that.

If you are actually trying to defend the practice of waving the confederate flag, your argument is not the best thing that ever happened to the cause.

Confederate statues and flags

Confederate statues and flags are tributes to childish things. The nation is putting away childish things . They are being placed in museums along with other relics

In reply to ISIS in America, has taken

Resistance has finally verified that he is a complete wack job. I saw the same 'taking the Confederate flag off SC State grounds is like terrorists blowing up architectural treasures from ancient civilizations' at another website. The confederacy was not the Roman empire, it was not France or Britain, it's flag is not a 2000 year old stone temple and you can still buy one and fly it from your home, your pickup truck or sleep with it at night.

This absurd analogy must have been planted in the heads of hate radio/Fox News pinheads as they are too dumb to concoct such nonsense on their own.

Yes, nutty Fox News for nutjobs, Todd Starnes was a source on this lame propaganda.

You betchya! And that is where we got the Supreme Court decision regarding Natural Born Citizens.

1898, if I recall correctly. A strange decision from a time when the 14th Amendment had been attacked in so many decisions like Plessey.

Even in that not so golden age, a principle was established.

Now we have an entire slew of GOP 'leaders' who question this principle.

Great blog, DD. ... and while we're on the subject of Americans being inhumane to immigrants, how about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

I have to make supper so I don't have time to write about this article from Vox. It gives you an in sight to people's reaction to slavery during museum tours.

Up until a few weeks ago, I worked at a historic site in the South that included an old house and a nearby plantation. My job was to lead tours and tell guests about the people who made plantations possible: the slaves.

The site I worked at most frequently had more than 100 enslaved workers associated with it— 27 people serving the household alone, outnumbering the home's three white residents by a factor of nine. Yet many guests who visited the house and took the tour reacted with hostility to hearing a presentation that focused more on the slaves than on the owners.

We have a long way to go to educate white people about slavery.

Thanks for this post.

Why America Needs a Slavery Museum

Aug 25, 2015 | 18-part series

Video by The Atlantic

T he Whitney Plantation near Wallace, Louisiana, is the first and only U.S. museum and memorial to slavery. While other museums may include slavery in their exhibits, the Whitney Plantation is the first of its kind to focus primarily on the institution. John Cummings, a 78-year-old white southerner, has spent 16 years and more than $8 million of his own fortune to build the project, which opened in December of last year.
