    I have no idea why the author of this post chose to tag it with my name.

    Let me make one thing clear: As a transplant from the Yankee North to South Carolina, I completely agree that the Confederate Flag should not be displayed on the State House grounds as it is too divisive a symbol.

    However, in another location, at the Summerall Chapel http://www.citadel.edu/root/chapel-history at the Citadel, where the Confederate Naval Jack hangs, it is a memorial to the graduates of the Citadel who served in the Civil War, and is merely one of numerous flags http://www.citadel.edu/root/images/OEA/newsrelease_photos/2013-14/chapel%20flag%20collection%20wide.jpg that are on display as memorials to Citadel alumni who served and sacrificed.

    How do I respond in kind?

    I am pretty sure you do have EVERY idea of why your name is there. You have defended, as you still do in this comment, the racism of your adopted city. That racism extends not only to the celebration of the Confederacy but to the effort to preserved monument of the Nazis .

    That defense has been rather aggressive, Including an effort to get this website taken down by my empoyer, the University of Washington. Your attack on THE-Ave.US included assertions of bigotry, pedophilia, etc. At the same time, you published on your own website, a screed demeaning my Dad’s memory as a WWII hero and have been trying to have his amazing pictures of Buchenwald destroyed.

    As for the citadel, holding that relic up as a symbol of South Carolina’s past is one more example of the horror my brothers and sisters, African Americans, must endure in the place you have chosen as a home.

    oyed.

    Your accusations are false, and either (1) you know you are publishing false allegations, or (2) you are demented.

    Ahh, then you ARE demented! I never “defended, as you still do in this comment, the racism of your adopted city” nor “Including an effort to get this website taken down by my empoyer [sic]” nor “have been trying to have his amazing pictures of Buchenwald destroyed.” BTW, there is no “preserved monument of the Nazis” in Charleston.

    OH?? Really, then do you oppose taking down the flags and the memerial to the Nazis? How about YOUR town, do you think they might actually elect some Black city councilors? Any oyur satte .. isn’t it tike to recognize that Unions are a good thing?

    As for your efforts to get the University to have me committed, you seem to forget that depite YOUR rpotests, I got all of your emials on this subject from the UW. They eventually asked you to stop harassing them.
