Monday letters: Instigators want to wipe out Southern history

The instigators of the effort to ban the Confederate flag will not be satisfied until they have erased the South’s entire history of existence. As long as there are people who can derive power and money from a race being upset over any perceived injustice, we will have a problem coexisting peaceably.

The most disturbingly racist artifacts in public view are the bronze plaques at the black memorial, which show only whites demeaning black slaves, despite the fact that there were black slave-owners in both the North and the South. And how do the protesters know they are not standing beside the descendant of a black slave owner?

The majority of whites long ago have given up credence to the KKK and Nazi party, while the pot-stirrers like Al Sharpton continue to draw large, angry crowds.

Our country is under attack and at war, but we are a divided country, and will be conquered unless we join forces and quit bickering among ourselves over 150-year-old twisted history. I don’t want my children to have to live under Sharia law or learn Chinese or Russian.
