...I repeat, however, it's not the city becoming "largely Black" that's driving this whole process, as this is occuring in many different venues in several states. The racists have done a good job of making the average American see hatred when they see or hear tell of a Confederate flag of any type, or Confederate Memorials, etc. Were it not for The White Citizens Councils, and like organizations of the 50s and 60s, when Southern racists were flying various Confederate flags and raising H*** against intergration, the American people wouldn't see and feel the hatred and the Memorials would be fine and dandy. (And of course that murdering thing in Carolina of more recent date.) We should put the blame where it belongs, not on the Blacks.

I must admit, also, that I'm at a loss to know who the "Few" are of whom you speak

Of course I agree that the average white American has been bombarded with propaganda beginning in the schools, and continuing with Hollywood, TV and the liberal news media. Those whites who have been victimized by this onslaught of lies and hatred have certainly become a factor in this politically correct anti Confederate movement.

As to the "few," I'm referring to the trend of this nation of cowing down to the black minority. Thirteen percent of the population has the rest of the country in fear of being called a racist if their demands aren't met. They smell blood and are riding the momentum for all its worth.

It is an epidemic and I just don't share your optimism that it can be reversed before its too late.

But, of course, I hope so.
