The flag came down today in South Carolina's capital ground after 53 years ago it was raised by then Governor Ernest Hollings (Democrat) among other dixi-crats who then ruled the south. It was raised in defiance to the civil rights movement of the time. We lost nine spiritual warriors to racism, but we gained a symbolic victory against hate for now.
Those guys defected to the Republican party and stayed ever since. One GOP guv Beasley did brought it down and later got defeated by the racist wing of the Republican party in SC.
The same thing happened in Georgia back in '01/'02. Roy Barnes (Democrat) took down the flag and never got re-elected. Sonny Perdue ran on putting the flag back up and won. Georgia hasn't had a Democrat as governor since then. What makes him even more ridiculous is that he's from Detroit, which is absolutely nowhere near the south.
Sonny Perdue changed the flag and got heat for it because he pledged to return the flag to the 1956 design. He broke it when he got another design. The Roy Barnes flag in my opinion sucked since it looked like a flag used for Six Flags Over Georgia.
What's interesting about Kid Rock is he has a black bracial son with a black woman before he got famous.
