Well guys, it was a good run. We were just on the cusp of getting that flag down, when someone at the mall cookie place dropped this bomb.

LOL I like the flag but this is hilarious. Someone's getting fired.

[–]RuscideroLexington 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

Good news, if you're looking for a job at the mall: there's a job opening at the Toll House Cookie place.

Do they also have a "separate but equal" black and white cookie?

In twenty years their kids will laughingly use this picture as an example of how backward their Mom or Pop was. It'll be like when you tell people your racist old grandmother still calls Brazil nuts "nigger toes."

The Strom Thurmond cookie moves to a different case once they end the "Separate but equal" cookie. Honestly, I love the South but how can anyone wrap themselves around a flag that represents a government that nearly destroyed the union?

[–]Wind5????? 16ポイント17ポイント  (1子コメント)

Perhaps because they're okay with the whole "almost destroyed the Union" thing?

maybe you dont realize they literally teach "the war of northern aggression" in a lot of southern schools

[–]sunnymentoaddictBeaufort 0ポイント1ポイント  (14子コメント)

I did fail to realize that. I grew up in Dallas-Fort Worth, so the war was taught as "Southern Aggression" as they shot first. I wish many folks whom love the flag look at it critically and realize it isn't appropriate to fly that flag on the Capitol. I'm not a huge supporter of Lindsey, but I agree with his 'compromise': moving it to a museum. Hopefully a man with that amount of influence in our state can sway minds into not flying the flag on state grounds. Hopefully.

" 'Southern Aggression' as they shot first." The SC troops that surrounded Fort Sumter after SC seceded sent word to Lincoln in Washington that any attempt to re-supply the fort would bring on the first shot. Lincoln sent ships in to re-supply, casting the first stone.

So the federal government resupplied a federal installation off the coast of a newly-independent state, and they shouldn't have? Even if you recognize South Carolina's right as a state to secede, that's still like a kid saying "Don't cross this line or I'll kick you. A) Saying something is yours doesn't make it yours, and B) If you put the president in a position like that, he's pretty much got to call your bluff to maintain any authority.

[–]sunnymentoaddictBeaufort -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

If we are splitting hairs, we can easily argue that South Carolina started the war by being the first to leave the union.

    Today I learned why I'm never going to Maurice's.

    Bessigner reportedly protested desegregation by putting a sign up in his Piggie Park restaurant that read: The law makes us serve niggers, but any money we get from them goes to the Ku Klux Klan. He also offered a tableful of racist tracts, print outs, and pamphlets at his Columbia restaurants. One in particular argued that the Bible condoned slavery, and, as such, American slavery was not only just, but Almighty approved.

    His sons run it now and are nowhere near this level of racism. All of the racist stuff is gone and most of the stuff about the civil war is gone, though there still is stuff there.

    My favorite pamphlet was simply titled "Abe Lincoln was a Liar." I saw that in 2002 and haven't been back since.

    Always wondered how these gung-ho Americans that fly the confederate flag proudly want Obama tried on treason don't realize that the very flag they fly in their living room is itself a flag of treason?

    Note: I don't really wonder, I know. It still astonishes me though.

    The heritage is not hate.

    The heritage is dehumanization. They weren't human, they were property.

    You could probably call the management at the mall and ask them to remove that as well. Maybe even call corporate.

    [–]ParkerMLowcountry 2ポイント3ポイント  (11子コメント)

    Yeah, they're just trying to drum up publicity. The owner is probably counting on a bunch of supporters coming to buy cookies a la Chik Fil A http://i.imgur.com/Ww3ByJq.jpg

    [–]AlaskanPotatoSlapColumbia -5ポイント-4ポイント  (10子コメント)

    The people that flocked to support Chik Fil A during that fiasco are probably the same people that would flock to Nestle Toll House to support the Confederate flag.

    One in the same. And it's a testament to the same small minded ignorance and hate.

    Its hard to ignore such honest valor. I was simply taken back by the guys bravery in the face of facts. Glad you noted the sarcasm.

    [–]AlaskanPotatoSlapColumbia -1ポイント0ポイント  (3子コメント)

    No. A comment of having grown up in SC and seeing the good old southern christians with rebel flags in their bedrooms as a child being the same ones going to chik fil a during that controversy.

    It's certainly a correlative observation and not a causational one, but I'm sure the hypothesis would prove correct.

      She said it was a Charleston mall. I can walk to Columbiana and last time I checked it's not in Charleston...

      [–]SCphotogLowLife 0ポイント1ポイント  (6子コメント)

      I haven't been to the mall up in north Charleston in a while, but I doubt it was there, given that the majority clientele is fairly mixed... but I was in our... pretty much the only other mall we have, just a day ago, and this was not on display, the workers there are black... and NO.. this just wouldn't fly.

      So I'm going to call BS on this being in Charleston.

      I don't think the cookie place in the mall is associated with Nestle either.

      [–]sunny_person????? 0ポイント1ポイント  (5子コメント)

      Nope, this is Columbia. Lol. There is a cookie place but I don't remember if it was Nestlé or not.

          There you go guys a 17 year old part time kid. If they are from sc I see why they were probable raised with it and did not really think of it I the way you guys do. Now r u going to keep this going because some 17 year old douse not have the same view as u guys or u going to keep making it worse for them. As the news said they have been talked to and is no longer going to make cakes with out permission. I think it's funny how a bunch of adults are flipping out about this flag but if I ask most kids in the state they have no really opinion they no it was a war flags and was never meant to mean any more then that. So if teens can understand this why no you

          Also don't blame the corporation for somthing one person did I do not even see the point in blaming the owner or other employes for somthing they probable did not know about. Jest think how much u are messing with people who may not of even know about it because if they did then they would of agreed with it, and not have taken it down

          [–]Kinkors1????? -3ポイント-2ポイント  (7子コメント)

          Ok I think this has been up long enough . The store has taken it down bye now. And the person who made it probable is fired, if not will be soon because everyone is making it in to much more then it needs to be. For all we know it's some 15 year old who was raised with it all there life not knowing any deferent. I can say u have probably jest about ruined there only source of income because people do not agree with it. everyone has the freedom of there own opinion. so this person did somthing stupid but dousent everyone at times.

          [–]tigerdrummerClemson University -2ポイント-1ポイント  (6子コメント)
