You ca hate blacks or love blacks. There is no I between because one side or the other will call you a racist.
Mr. Pitts, take some advice. Go on vacation, otherwise the race police will make sure there is nothing left of you.
Most people don’t “hate” or “love” any race.
Most people just acknowledge all races are equal and hope for the best for everybody.
This concept eludes racists because of their ignorance and hate refusing to see other races as human beings.
Hate is what makes human beings lesser beings.
Racists will always be lesser beings, even lesser than how they view another race, for as they dehumanize another race, they dehumanize themselves even further by doing it.
Whichever side the racist is on, you shouldn’t care what they call you.
Don’t return their hatred with more hate, return it with love and kindness, even if they don’t deserve it.
This is what the victims of the Charleston shooting did for Dylann Roof.
Only love can disarm hate.
Mr. Piss may ain’t real bright, is he?
Is there a group out there call Sons of Confederate Potholes?
Sure would be nice if our legislature was as passionate about maintaining the infrastructure they spent $billions creating. But then again, who gets elected from patching potholes.
Put you monuments and flags on the list and attend to them after our roads and bridges are fixed.
This is in Russia, but it’s awesome.

That is good! A month or two ago, between shows and commercials, Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” was running segments about a guy who found a similar solution to the pot hole problem in his area.
I believe he was in the UK. His idea was to paint penises on pot holes. As I understood it, they were covered up rather quickly after his attempts at artwork were put in place
To be fair, I was on vacation in the Northeast last week – NY city – well that goes without saying crappy roads. Fair portion of other parts of NY State – crappy roads (Niagara Falls NY – can we sell that back to Canada?). But NJ – home of Super Chris Christie – holy crap. The roads there are so bad. I mean they suck. The NJ Turnpike, I-78, I-95, Route 80, 287, 280. They all sucked so bad. Rt 3 out of NYC, Rt. 46. Just suck, suck, suck. Way worse than anything here in SC. My take away, all the states, SC included, won’t do anything – they’re all waiting for money pot Congress to give them the money in the new infrastructure bill.
I hear that from people moving/retiring to SC, that their roads back home are in awful shape. However, travel to NC and GA, the states we compete against most of the time for new business and industry and you find that their roads are in great shape, and building new roads to relieve congestion.
Maybe Nimrata is paying to have NC and GA roads repaired.

Three or 300 blog entries will not change the fact the Confederate flag is the emblem of slavery, secession, segregation and white supremacy. The purpose of the Confederacy is clearly stated in its founding documents – to maintain and expand chattel slavery in perpetuity in North America.
Pitts’ apologia and falsehoods are easily debunked. Publishing this detritus insults the intelligence of FITS readers.
For the love of God move on, man.
Pitts was too tired to push a button there at the end? He’d just addressed The House not a few minutes before the final vote, and he sounded, appeared to be of sound mind then. He just couldn’t bring himself to vote for what he’d stated he knew was going to happen before he proceeded to lead the charge in making the SC House appear to body full of ignorant rednecks.
Dear Representative Pitts,
I would be pleased for you to construct the monument you have proposed provided you do three things:
1. Fix the damn roads first
2. Use you’re own money to build said monument
3. Shut up about it forevermore
Thanks for your consideration of my request.
Sincerely, I am
The Colonel
But I want my monument to the brave Union soldiers who liberated Columbia. Else they’re being unfair to my Yankee ancestors.
“liberated Columbia”
Just like our liberation of Iraq.
The flag BS is over. FIX THE ROADS.
Here is what Pitts’ constituency looks like. Looks like Mamma even put on a clean tank top just for the rally! I think that’s Grand Tango in the black shirt between Mamma and Skeeter. And is that Emily Peterkin flipping the bird?
What are you all butt hurt over now? From someone who’s originally from outside of SC you just described the entire state so don’t flatter yourself.
Just stop it, already. Please. Spare us from part III.
Both units are a significant part of South Carolina History – and that’s why they have a Museum. Else, what I want is a large bronze cannon pointed directly at the State House to honor the brave men of the Union Army that crossed the river and liberated Columbia from the treasonous rebel forces. How’s that deal work fer ya!!!! Now fix the roads.
“I chose not to vote on third and final reading as I was mentally and physically exhausted from the debate and my vote would not have impacted the final outcome.”
You were elected to represent your constituents and you are PAID for your service. Not voting while you were in the chamber is a dereliction of duty IMHO. We should dock your pay for the whole day including your per diem and lodging.
Actually – in human speak – what he said was – I lost, so I figured F%$K IT.
How can you use the ‘excuse’ that you were ‘exhausted’ from a debate that YOU, yourself, made exhausting? Or that you didn’t vote because the outcome was already decided? That right there is apathy, and an apathy that you must have learned from your constituents. How else do explain your re-elections?
Mike better get him some rest, otherwise he won’t be on top of his game in December and January when he pre-files some grandiose pro-gun bill tht he has already devised amendments for, with intent to sabotage that pro-gun bill so it never happens. Rinse and repeat, each year.
Dear Mr. Pitts,
What you are doing is attempting to revise history. You tried to stop the flag removal. You failed. Move on into infamy before your racist friends get pissed.
What’s going on here? What does this have to do with Trump?
Mike Pitts—or as the indians know him…Waffling Dog…thinks
his PC spiel and not voting will save his political hide
But Laurens County voters—not fools—know that hypocrites are
NOT cool—and will politically cut him long, deep and wide !!!
