All
this is going to be very, very messy. South Carolina politics is
estranged from history and the truth. There was more than one design of
the confederate flag. That isn't really important. What is important is the confederate culture and how that translated into a hate manifesto that caused the deaths of nine dearly wonderful people.
This hatred has to stop and that means the people of the confederate and their role in the civil war has to be made to reflect the truth. Owning slaves was not an act of god. God was used as a crutch to justify greed and inhumane treatment of African Americans. They were Americans at the time of the enslavement and human rights were destroyed by a culture of greed.
The confederate flag is linked to the hatred of Jews. Haaretz is carrying an article about the shooter. He has a manifesto that is antisemitic. Antisemitism is linked to the confederate flag and it's creator.
As much as Charleston is not the home of Mr. Roof, it has a strong significance to the confederate flag and antisemitism.

Website (click here) surfaces with racist manifesto thought to have been penned by Dylann Storm Roof. The text claims discovery of 'black on white crime' prompted him to take action.
Dylann Storm Roof, the suspected shooter behind the deadly shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, is thought to have penned a racist manifesto prior to the attack that left nine African-American worshipers dead.
A text apparently posted online by Roof says that the discovery of "black on white" crime changed him. According to the manifesto, Jews also play a pivotal role in Roof's world view....
The story of the south at the time of the civil war is a rather complicated picture. The Jews began their citizenship in the USA in the south. Rabbi Heller was a significant leader of the Jewish community at the time. Antisemitism is apart of the confederate culture. The Roof manifesto is not estranged from the culture of the south that sparked secession and the civil war. Mr. Roof has studied the confederate culture that was suppose to die with the end of the civil war. The culture is mired in hate.
This is William Porcher Miles. He made the confederate flag. He owned slaves. The culture he espoused was believed to be divine. Supposedly religious benevolence was within in the culture. The politics has to end. The politics are a lie.
There is a collection about this mess at the University of North Carolina.
...The collection (click here) consists of personal, political, and military correspondence; diaries; and a few business papers and clippings of William Porcher Miles. Correspondence with many leading political, military, and intellectual figures of the day discusses slavery and runaway slaves, Jews in Charleston, secession, foreign relations, patronage appointments, appropriations, financial and military preparations for war, defense of coastal and inland South Carolina, Reconstruction economic and social conditions in Charleston, S.C., and perceived effects of citizenship and wages on freedmen. Also included are materials relating to Miles and Warley family, friends, and social activities;...
The collection is available for public access. UNC throughout it's library system has many unique collections. This is only one of them. The UNC collection about these families provides the truth regarding the confederacy. There are other confederate sites that simply don't care about the truth. There is absolutely no justification to hold that flag in esteem. It is linked deeply to hatred and lusts murder as a divine priority. The confederate flag and it's culture will die, except, in collections like this where the culture is vibrantly known.
The men filing a bill to remove the confederate flag need to be supported by people of conscience as well as the black and Jewish communities. This is important to place South Carolina firmly on the USA map.
I probably need to address this later. Today we have magnificent people to celebrate and their strong and steadfast faith.
