    keep it real. this is a game of politics. it takes a 2/3 majority in the sc state assembly to get that flag taken down and i'll be shocked as hell to see that happen. what the governor just did was a great display of public relations for her state and a fellow sc senator who just happens to be running for president. she knows 2/3 of those cacs in the state assembly wont vote for that ? but she can at least say she tried. politics is all this ? is about

    I agree it's all politics. Those crackas in SC are gonna keep the flag up, too many people in SC admire what the flag represents. I do admire the woman who took the flag down this morning, I only wish she could have kept it down.

    I'm hoping a miracle happens though and SC surprises me.

    well i stand corrected. i didnt think those sc cacs would pull it down but they did. but dont be fooled. dont let these ? placate you with symbols and ? . these same cacs who took that ? flag own are the same ppl who refuse to fix the vra, sc photo id law or the sc i-95 corridor of shame. they gave us symbols during the civil rights era but systemic racism went unchaged and in many instances got worse. so ? these cacs. stay woke

    Damn we got a big victory today, the flag is coming down tmw in SC. I never thought the flag would come down there, not in my lifetime. The church shooter set his movement back without question. At least publicly
