Petition To Remove African American Memorial In Columbia Closing In On 50,000 Signatures

Cedar Posts and Barbed Wire Fences

An on line petition at change.org calls for the removal on the African American memorial on the South Carolina Statehouse Lawn.

Stating the reason for removal is that it is offensive to a greater number of South Carolinians than not. That the African American Monument depicts slave ships, mistreatment and words such as “segregation” and “Jim Crow” and that this invokes in the white community feelings of shame, humiliation and offense, serving as a constant reminder of the dark history of slavery.

Not surprisingly the main stream media doesn’t see the current 35,000 signatures as news worthy.

The African American Monument on the South Carolina State House grounds was erected in 2001 as part of a bi-partisan compromise reached in 2000 to move the Confederate battle flag from the State House dome and place it at the Confederate Soldier’s Monument.

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. 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.

It has been stated that the battle flag must be removed due to it being offensive to the African American community, and invoking upon that community reminders of the dark history of slavery.

To the same point, 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.

Therefore, we the people of South Carolina and citizens the world over implore the Legislature of South Carolina to order the removal of this monument from State Grounds.

  1. Further division of the people is all this is causing. A storm is coming and its going to be a nasty one.

    1. If segregation is what is takes to force people to make up their minds, pick a side and stop heckling from the side lines while keeping their feet out of the fire… GOOD! We need maximum agitation so all the roaches and rats come swarming out so we can stomp on them, we can NOT do that while being politically correct.

This so called “monument” is socialist propaganda meant to help beat down white people and give black excuses for their actions. I sincerely hope they rip it down and replace it with gallows for hanging the communists, it would cost less to maintain and we the people would get a higher return.

    Keep agitating everyone so sides are drawn up faster, do not be afraid of offense or division, THE DIVISION IS ALREADY THERE! Events like this only EXPOSE the lines and show who is on what side. The rats and roaches are going to jump on their boat and set sail no matter if you agitate them or not, may as well start beating the bushes and driving them out so they expose their ship, the sooner it is exposed the sooner it can be sunk with better accuracy and the less rats and roaches we will miss when that day dawns.

    Keep everyone’s feet to the fire, keep pushing and agitating so we can get the lines drawn and expose the cowards who would never come forward otherwise.

  3. Yea and I’m sure Barry (Mr. Pick and Choose which petitions to enforce) will jump at the opportunity to enforce the petition and have it removed when the time comes.

    Hey, how about we petition to have these Commies who want to remove our history be removed from our country or put on a ship with a small hole in it in the middle of the ocean with shark infested waters? How about that?
