An on line petition at change.org calls for the removal on the African American memorial on the South Carolina Statehouse Lawn.
Stating
the reason for removal is that it is offensive to a greater number of
South Carolinians than not. That the African American Monument depicts
slave ships, mistreatment and words such as "segregation" and "Jim Crow"
and that this invokes in the white community feelings of shame,
humiliation and offense, (ha!) serving as a constant reminder of the dark
history of slavery.
Not surprisingly the main stream media doesn't see the current 35,000 signatures as news worthy.
And yes, I *did* sign it. :)
