on Confederate Flag in SC: who killed more Americans, al Qaeda or Confederates & their admirers?
Americans killed by al Qaeda:
1993 World Trade Center bombing: 6
1998 embassy bombing: 12
2000 USS Cole bombing: 17
9/11: 2,977
You could give them credit for every American killed in the Middle East since 9/11 too, and it would still be a fraction of those killed by the pro-slavery Confederacy and their various racist descendant groups.
Northern troops killed in Civil War: 364,000
Southerner troops killed (a self-inflicted would) 300,000
Lynchings, 1882-1968
You don't even have to add hate crime murders since 1968 or cops killing unarmed blacks with impunity for racist Americans a hundred times the body count of the terrorists our government and the right are constantly telling us to wet our pants over.
We can't root out racist thoughts, but we can stop allowing the symbol of racial terrorism and mass murder to fly on state property at state expense.
It's time to end welfare for the Confederate flag.
Take it down.
