It's Them, Not Me-- The Big Fuss Starts Today

Today marks the 150th anniversary of South Carolina's secession from the United States 150 years ago.

It also marks the beginning of what is sure sure to be five years of fussing from the NAACP and kindred groups about the big "S" word.

The fact that the Southern states wanted to keep the "S" word can not be denied. The secession movement was led by men who had the "S" and wanted to keep them. It was fought primarily by men and borne by the women of the home front who did not have the "S".

One has to wonder how the rich "S" holders were able to convince all those people without "S" to do their bidding.

Of course, in today's world, it is impossible to defend the idea of "S" unless you live in Haiti or Africa. And rightfully so. Even though it goes way back into history, it was and still is a horrible practice

However, the NAACP would do better to commemorate the war in their own way and quit attacking those who choose to commemorate the events that transpired during those fateful years in their own way.

Besides, it is my belief that they have much bigger problems facing their people than to be spending all this time on the "S" word.
