[@IWashMyOwnBrain]

The south lost so there is no reason for it to still be flying.

[@redarrowhead2]

Gee I didn't know that rule existed so I guess I'll put mine away now.

[@SouthernGentleman]

IWashMyOwnBrain Confederates fought in Mexico and in Cuba. Plus U.S soldiers flew Confederate flags in every war since Cuba. That’s a great reason

[@ziggymorris8760]

redarrowhead2 Capitol buildings are paid for with tax dollars, so it needed to be voted down. Thank god, that flag is disgusting

[@SouthernGentleman]

ziggy morris No it’s not it represents American history and Southern pride

[@SouthernGentleman]

ziggy morris The American flag is the same way too

[@ZyloSol99]

Step 1:Upload video about the removal of the Confederate Flag Step 2: Wait. Step 3: Watch the people argue over the flag.

[@AllAmericanDreamChaser]

That will stop all the shootings.

***** Bullshit. Why didn't they take the flag down decades ago?

[@sharpestnation4799]

There was no reason to take down the flag

Yes. Thousands of blacks were lynched during the 20th century, also

[@cohenpope8710]

It's heritage no hate! This flag is not racist! To me this flag shows my southern pride and heritage and to show honor to the men who fought for the south.

Today, the Civil War ended in the city where it began.

[@viewingstorm8930]

It’s a symbolic victory, South Carolina still has a long way to go, and the war began in Charleston SC not Columbia SC

[@odaasuka]

i like the flag

[@MSL_Sketches]

I support your opinion

[@viewingstorm8930]

It’s a cool flag but unfortunately it is a hate symbol, luckily us South Carolinians have a amazing state flag to fly proudly!

[@sherrys.sanners851]

A step in the right direction. But we still have a long way to go.

[@jakewalker6381]

***(A truly beautiful sight for sore eyes.)*** The removal of a symbol of oppression, separation, segregation, discrimination, racism, bigotry, hate and our nations darkest, most criminal history. If Archie Bunker were alive today, he would've been irate. He would've been livid. Edith would've been yelling at him to..."stifle"! When that flag was making it's way down the pole for it's last time, it was the love, faith and the goodness of those nine completely innocent "victims" (with the help of their families) that was pushing, pulling it down. Love: "1", Hate: "0". Love wins. Love will always win over hate. ~oO(♫)Oo~ PS. Charles Manson is a part of our nations history, we don't "honor" him?

[@sheepuff5999]

That was...poetic

[@thebushwolf710]

I dunno if this is 1 huge joke or not... Because if its dead serious then there is something seriously wrong with you...

[@MSL_Sketches]

Shut up

[@SouthernGentleman]

The Confederacy was extremely diverse. 50,000 blacks fought for the Confederacy like black Confederate sailor W. S Lewis from CSS Alabama www.navyandmarine.org/ondeck/1862blackCSN.htm, Cuban Woman Loretta Velasquez dressed as a man to fight for the Confederacy www.battlefields.org/learn/biographies/loreta-janeta-velazquez, Cherokee and Choctaw tribes fought for the Confederacy. The last Confederate General to stop fighting was Cherokee General Stand Watie www.battlefields.org/learn/biographies/stand-watie. 10,000 Jews fought for the Confederacy, like Moses Ezekiel. The war was fought against Northern oppression and the tariff of 1828, called the Tariff of Abominations in the South. It was the worst exploitation of the South. The North shot first at Harpers Ferry and invaded the South. The North also killed 50,000 civilians and destroyed cities like Atlanta, Vicksburg, Richmond, Nashville, and so on.

Can anyone tell me why these state still fly flags based on the Confederate battle flag?Mississippi, Georgia, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida....?

[@MSL_Sketches]

Cuz they like their culture/heritage, moroon

[@TheRichie213]

Are they gonna tell us what we can and can't wear now??

[@viewingstorm8930]

I know this was eight years ago but there’s a massive difference between taking down something from a government building and taking away your personal freedom to free speech

[@mrgarza1993]

Great. What other history can we erase

[@warmccl]

It's going to a history museum....

[@viewingstorm8930]

It’s not really erased as it wasn’t destroyed and it was flying in front of a government building which in my opinion should only have the national and state flag

[@SHADOW--dp1cd]

do we now get rid of the black pather flag kuz last time i lookt it was a symbol of hate ( im offend bye that )

[@rmac5584]

CNN you can at least show the full ceremony.

[@navtel]

r mac what is in the full ceremony that would be so important?

[@josh949]

navtel The burning of the flag after being pissed on by black Union dressed soldiers. :)

[@josh949]

***** Sounds like a deal to me. So whats up with that fine Afghan hashish?

[@eugeneeastman2740]

A great shame

[@Rescue694]

Take down a battle flag which is still an American flag cannot change that. And raise a rainbow flag this country is going in the wrong direction fast

[@viewingstorm8930]

The difference is one is a symbol of pride and the other is used as a symbol of hate, I believe that we should use our state flag to show pride or come up with a new flag for the south that includes everyone, I will say the confederate flag looks cool as hell

[@brandonw3499]

Whatever your viewpoint is, you shouldn't use profanity and name calling to back up your argument. It comes across as ignorant and makes anything you say worthless.

[@GhostHawk1776]

Why can't you people show them honorably folding the flag? I wanted to see that! I wanted to see the respect that flag deserves!

[@iLoveSnD]

I just find it funny youre banning the battle flag and not the actual confederate flag.

[@abelevans5055]

Amen

[@leviathan6154]

Now, take the American flag down. More heinous acts have been done in the name of that flag than the other. So, S.C., you took down a piece of my Southern heritage. You embittered a group of people for the actions of one twisted kid. So, now, without flying the flag, all of a sudden, everybody will embrace one another and everyone will live happily ever after? B.S. It changes nothing! If anything, it puts another brick in the wall.

They should have burned it once down.

I might be wrong about this an if so then fuck what I'm saying but this seem to me to simply be A prelude to banning the confederate all together form socitey including personal property an if that true then that some bull shit cause you'r restricting speech expression an violating priviate property right when you do it.

[@vipergaming-gg1zl]

The civil war was a war not all about slavery it was money, and politics. South Carolina was a confederate state sorry that we pay respect to the people who were in the war. And not all the south were racist. And a lot of the North were racist so sorry I'm not racist I love everyone I'm just saying

[@richardb1720]

Such a tragedy today one psychopath changes history. I'm ashamed to be an american. The first amendment of the constitution doesn't mean any thing any more the majority of america thinks the southern cross should still fly. I feel great remorse for the church in Charleston but one tragedy doesn't allow the disrespect of our civil war soldiers. To me the remembrance of 620000 soldiers that died is more important than 9 people in a tragedy. Nicki Haley should never serve again in any form of office for desecrating our history. Sincerely a California Republican
