Petition Seeks Removal Of SC African-American Monument

TIT FOR TAT?

|| By FITSNEWS || A petition on the website Change.org is seeking the removal of the African-American monument from the grounds of the S.C. State House.

Erected in March 2001, the monument was part of the 2000 compromise which moved the Confederate flag from the S.C. State House dome to a prominent position on the north lawn of the building.  This compromise flag was removed last week in the aftermath of the “Holy City Massacre,” the premeditated killing of nine black churchgoers inside the historic Mother Emanuel AME Church in downtown Charleston, S.C.

A 21-year-old white supremacist – Dylann Storm Roof – has confessed to the crime and is awaiting trial on nine murder charges and one weapons charge.

“Given the recent outcry to remove the battle flag from the State House grounds completely, the people of South Carolina view this as a reneging of the 2000 compromise,” the petition states.  “Therefore, the people of South Carolina implore the South Carolina State Legislature to pass legislation calling for the removal of the African American Monument from the State House grounds.”

The petition goes on to state that “the African American Monument depicts slave ships, mistreatment and words such as ‘segregation’ and ‘Jim Crow.’  This being the case, it is undeniable that this monument can and does serve to invoke in the white community feelings of shame, humiliation and offense, serving as a constant reminder of the dark history of slavery.”

As of this writing more than 35,000 people have signed the petition …

In the aftermath of the flag coming down last week, we’ve been thinking long and hard about the movement to remove various memorials from public grounds – and to rename various counties, cities, roads, bridges, etc.

We’ll be addressing that movement extensively in a future post …

Its petty and childish to have started this petition, but this has as much to do with true heritage as the flag did, so if you got rid of one you should get rid of the other.

Actually we were thinking of adding a pool and game room to the monument…along with the Horne ‘Wailing Wall’ for Justice.

In Jerusalem, a female CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall to pray, twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. So she went to check it out. She went to the
Wailing Wall and there he was!

She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

“I’m Rebecca Smith from CNN. Sir, how long have you been coming to the Wall and praying?”

“For about 60 years.”

“60 years! That’s amazing! What do you pray for?”

“I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship.”

“How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?”

“Like I’m talking to a stupid wall.”

God offered his tablet of commandments to the world. He first approached the Italians. “What commandments do you offer?” they asked.
“Thou shalt not murder,” God replied. “Sorry, we are not interested,” said the Italians.

Next God offered the tablet to the Romanians. “What commandments do you offer?” they asked. “Thou shalt not steal,” God replied. They answered, “Sorry, we are not interested.”

Next God offered them to the French. “What commandments do
you offer?” they asked. “Thou shalt not covet they neighbor’s wife,” God replied. “Sorry, we are not interested,” they answered.

Finally God approached the Jews. “How much?” they asked. “They are free,” God replied. “We’ll take all ten of them!”

Two Jewish businessmen met at a resort. One who had recently retired was describing his life. “I get up late in
the morning. I have a fantastic breakfast and then I lie down on my veranda and relax. I go inside for lunch, have great salads, the best coffee, and I go out and lie on my veranda again. When it gets dark I have a great dinner with the finest wines. I smoke a Havana cigar. Then I go out and lie on my veranda again.”

The other Jewish gentlemen acknowledged that this was a life to be envied. Later he reported the conversation to his wife.

She asked, “What’s his wife’s name?”

Her husband said, “I’m not sure, but I think it’s Veranda!”

Rocky July 13, 2015 at 3:30 pm

Agree. All of this is a sad chapter which should be relegated to history and the history books. Since this was an integral part of the compromise, appropriate for the monument to be moved to the State Museum.
We all need to bury this past, on both sides.

That is silly. The monument reflects the actual history of a significant portion of SC’s citizens. It depicts the history of SC’s black citizens from enslavement to liberation to equality. The battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia was not part of South Carolina’s history. It was put up as a FU to black people during the civil rights movement. The two are not remotely alike.

Speak D Truth July 13, 2015 at 7:33 pm

It was actually put up to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Civil War by a Democratic legislature . It was left up by the same Legislature as an FU to the US Congress in response to the Civil Rights Act.

William July 14, 2015 at 12:07 pm

Please, misinformation my ass. Do you think the legislature decided hoist a Confederate Battle Flag onto the state house dome in a vacuum. Especially a flag that had nothing to do with the battle of Fort Sumter.

The civil rights movement was in full swing. There were riots throughout the South. The Federal Government has passed laws in 1957 and 1960, both designed to force the South to allow black people to vote. The hoisting of the flag on the centennial of the bombardment of Fort Sumter was an act of defiance and a FU to black people throughout SC. I provided no misinformation.

I think the difficult part of a suit would be to prove what damage has been done to anyone by the erecting of a monument to honor the achievements of African Americans?
With the Confederate Flag there is a valid argument that some people see it as a symbols of oppression. There is also a valid argument (one that I agree with) that the flag represents Southern Pride, Southern Heritage, and Southern Independence.

Yay, you’re a first year law student and you’re excited to show what you’ve learned. Well congratulations, you’re right, there likely was no contract nor formal agreement in 2000. Indeed, it was probably just a political agreement, which ironically, highlights the stupidity and impermanence of politics.

Mark July 14, 2015 at 10:05 am

I don’t even need to be a law student to see the stupidity of the argument there was an agreement. The NAACP never supported the proposal, the SCV never supported the proposal and they are only two of the players.

The Truth is Republicans told everybody, this is what we are going to do and its the best you are going to get. If you oppose this deal, the flag stays on top of the Capitol Dome. Since this was better than the alternative, the Legislative Black Caucus did not oppose the legislation moving the flag and establishing the monument. But no one outside group ever agreed not to continue the battle to remove the flag from the state house grounds, or to have it restored to the Capitol Dome for that matter. Removal of the flag has been an issue ever since. Hence, the boycott.

(1) The Confederate flag represents an effort by SC to preserve the enslavement of black people by white people:

(2) Statues of white people who are self-acknowledged racists, such as Ben Tillman remain on the State House grounds.

(3) The African-American monument was erected to show the progress of black people in SC from the time of slavery to the modern era. Unlike the flag and Ben Tillman, the monument is not a tribute to racism.

Such a crock of shit. Making “white people” feel shame for stuff their ancestors did. Hey, if they feel shamed and humiliated, that’s on them. They need to resolve that in themselves. My ancestors that were counted as “white” were, some of them, slave owners, and I feel zero shame about that. It’s history. I seek to always look realistically at all of it — the good, the bad, and the indifferent.

This is just more fodder for more divisiveness and revenge. Utter foolishness. Dangerously expensive foolishness it will be, too, if this delays our supposed representatives actually addressing substantive issues to move our state out of the shit-pile it shares with much of the deep South.

I blocked McBride on Facebook, and will not communicate with him in any way. As for his kids, I have nothing against them. The whole family is generally nice.

There’s already a confederate soldiers statue, a statue of Thurmond, Tillman, Calhoun, and Hampton on the grounds, for goodness sake there is an entire museum devoted to the confederacy. As is with history, there are certain parts we would all like to forget (like my ex wife), be that as it may, it teaches us and that of future generations. The battle flag was put up all for the wrong reasons, and it wasn’t even the right flag to begin with. That flag, unfortunately has been co-opted by hate groups and others. The thing about a monument is that a group or an individual can’t just up and tote around a monument. Simply put, the monuments need to be left alone and the flag is now in a place of reverence, much like the US Constitution or The Declaration of Independence, or the log book from Ellis Island.
