Stephens in his later years
On March 21, 1861, Stephens gave his famous Cornerstone Speech in Savannah, Georgia. In it he declared that slavery was the natural condition of blacks and the foundation of the Confederacy. He declared, "Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition

It would not have mattered what flag was up there the hatred was in his heart and probably passed down for generation's within his family.

This whole flag thing is playing right into Dylan Roof's motivation for committing this heinous crime in the first place ..... to create division & strife between the races in the U.S. and to "racially awaken" white people.  

Anyone who doesn't understand this whole "racial awakening" idea the white supremacists have should go read up on it.   And I don't mean from CNN ... go to their actual websites & see what they see. Read a synopsis of The Turner Diaries & The Hunter by white supremacist leader William Pierce.

If taking away a symbol many non-racist Southerners consider to be part of the heritage/history serves to foster racial resentments .... I'm sure young Roof is quite gleeful about that.   In his mind it serves to "racially awaken" them.  

The groups/people who adhere to white separatist/nationalist/supremacist ideology use the Christian cross (and variations thereof) as a symbol much or more as the Confederate battle-flag ... gonna ban that too?

How many Christians in this country would take exception to media characterization of the cross as a racist symbol?

Solution: Reduce the size of the image in Photoshop prior to posting, and don't try and post images from an iPhone.

I don't know about racism, but it is certainly a symbol of ignorance.

Then again, I suspect Sunday is probably the most racially segregated day of the week.
