[QUOTE="Harry Manback, post: 1700801, member: 8872"] A FB friend of mine posted something I thought was pretty profound. I'll paraphrase it here. "Imagine if your great grandfather was a slave. Imagine him being hunted down like a dog and lynched. Imagine your grandfather being forced to drink from a different water fountain on grounds he was unfit to drink a white man's water. Imagine your mother or father shot down in cold blood at church for simply being born with a darker skin tone. Imagine this is your heritage. This is your history. Imagine if you can, being constantly reminded every time you ride past our State House, you're not only reminded of "your" heritage but, you're also reminded that your state's government not only allows a physical representation of your heritage to fly but, embraces it." It's insulting. It's hurtful. It's embarrassing. I've always held disdain for Nikki Haley for her anti-union position but, she's made the right call. It's time. Time to prove to our countrymen, we're not the backwards-ass hillbillies you think we are. [/QUOTE]
