A few evenings ago I watched a TV news program with a white politician defending the right of southerners to have confederate flags on their license plates. After all, the man said, it is time for reconciliation … this long after slavery every Southerner, black and white, should take pri[...]

WARNING: Police Are Violating Your Rights to Take Pictures
ALL PHOTOGRAPERS SHOULD KNOW THEIR RIGHTS! The only reason we know about the police murder of Walter Scott is the courage of a bystander who videoed the events on a cell phone. That man had the courage and wisdom to give the video not only to the police but to the press. Those rights are prot[...]

UPDATE: The Odor of Racism, Charleston South Carolina
SO .. when a cop pulls his gun and says stop, and you do not. Can he just shoot you? Mayor who enacted the “tough law policies’ says “When you’re wrong, you’re wrong.” Mr. Summey was NOT referring to himself. I am sure the Mayor is referring to officer Slager but I am n[...]

Amazing what some people tweet, knowing all the world will read it
(Click on image to enlarge) By the way, this guy is the South Carolina Republican Party’s former executive director, and he just got arrested for domestic violence. What is it about that state? Why does South Carolina have [...]

How White Men Count Coup: Rural South Carolina, 1923.
The stories of the white American South in the 1920s and 1930s are ever more difficult to retrieve given the awful shadows cast by Jim Crow. This might change as streaming TV opens more channels to divers tastes. My suggestion is a story set in a place like this with an all white cast (except [&he[...]

An Early History of South Carolina
Black and white all mix’d together Inconstant, strange, unhealthful weather Burning heat and chilling cold Dangerous both to young and old Boisterous winds and heavy rains Fevers and rheumatic pains Agues plenty without doubt Sores, boils, the prickling heat and gout Water bad, past all drinking M[...]

150 years after the North won the war, isn’t it time for these Southern states to pay their own way?
Maybe this is why my sister and her husband chose to move to South Carolina? How does this federal largesse affect their taxes and cost of living? Interesting Maine is almost as dependent as South Carolina! Wasn’t Maine a Union state? You can see the whole thing here on Huff Post! Hell the M[...]

In Defense of Confederate and Nazi License Plates
Ilya Shapiro is traditional Jewish liberal lawyer, what I now call a lace curtain liberal yid, who puts his own interests and the law in the way of justice. These talented individuals remind me of a relative of mine, a corporate attorney, who once explained to me that in her job the truth did not[...]
SOUTH CAROLINA: The Last Confederate Funeral
It is amazing to me, never having lived in the South, how the Confederacy has become so honored that Jews like my sister can live there while a Black girl can be given an honor in the name of a civil war hero. I hope nothing of this sort ever happens in Germany! I have […][...]
