OCALA, Fla. (AP) – As lawmakers in South Carolina consider removing the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds, a north Florida county has decided to do the opposite.

The Marion County Commission voted Tuesday unanimously to again fly the Confederate flag in front of a government building, weeks after it had been taken down.

The interim county administrator had removed the flag at the McPherson Governmental Complex in Ocala, joining other communities across the South and nationwide that took down or reconsidered Confederate symbols after the June 17 killing of nine black people at a Charleston, South Carolina, church. A white man who appeared in photos waving Confederate flags is charged.

The Ocala Star-Banner reports that several citizens spoke in favor of restoring the flag.

Now why after a 21 year old  white supremacist and terrorist  named Dylan Roff  from South Carolina who went into a church of worship then killed his 9 unsuspecting God loving people who it seems only worshiped the confederate flag and his white supremacist  allies.  In his writings  he  explicit that he HATED people of color and everything that we as a people stand for?  It took this terrorist act for the local and state  government to make a rather I believe a small decision to take the Confederate flag down from the South Carolina Statehouse but no it has become a debate that shouldn’t be a debate. The confederate flag is symbol of HATE and foul dislike for people of color. He CHOOSE an historically Black church known for coming together as a people of ALL RACES to end segregation; racism.  This flag that most Carolinas hold so dear to their heart and soul; say “It’s a part of our Heritage!” I SAY NO IT’S A SYMBOL FOR SEPARATE BUT EQUAL!  A lot of our black folks  (except for three) want that flag to fly NO MORE!

This vile flag was removed  from all retail stores; merchandise was removed online and off. TVLand removed The Dukes of Hazard from it’s TV line up. So why on earth would Florida want to fly confederate flag high above the sky? I say The Confederate flag and a gun just don’t mix.
