The only way Nikki Haley would be a Democrat supporting the Confederate flag would be if she was back in Jim Crow days. And considering the color of her skin, it would be highly unlikely that she could be voted into any South Carolina office back then, let alone vote

in light of that history, I don't get how she can be so undisturbed about the whole thing. it is like whistling past the graveyard of past [and present] injustices. and that horrible photo of the black fella with the confederate flag, just how is that materially different in philosophy and attitude, from an Israeli holding a Nazi flag? the lack of comprehension and the lack of widespread revulsion is EERIE to me and makes me think I'm in a twilight zone episode or a nightmare.

She probably looks at that picture every night when she goes to bed, in order to justify her actions to herself.

Possibly true.

I didn't say all her constituents were against the Confederate flag by any means, but the opposition to it almost certainly is more than a small minority.


And? Like I said, her job as governor is to represent her constituents, and if it's a minority of them who object to the flag, why do they get to overrule the majority who approve?

I said nothing about any democrat defending the Confederate flag or the Jim Crow era. If she were a democrat, criticism of her from the right on any matter would bring an accusation of racism and misogyny.

PS: You're deliberate obtuseness is evidence that you're finally realising that you don't have a leg to stand on.

I was bringing up Jim Crow days to demonstrate that that would have been the only time a Democrat would have supported the Confederate flag.
And as that's obvious, I'm clearly not the one who's being obtuse.

Intentionally missing the point in hopes of drawing attention away from the fact that the left loves to accuse the right of racism whenever the right criticizes a person of color base on issues not race related is being deliberately obtuse.

What? When is the right criticizing anyone of color for any issue in this topic?
