South Carolina marks Confederate Memorial Day on Tuesday

South Carolina will close state offices on Tuesday to mark Confederate Memorial Day.

The observation of the holiday is every year on May 10. South Carolina is among a handful of states in the South with such an official holiday. State offices in Alabama and Mississippi closed down for their Confederate Memorial Days late last month.

South Carolina chose May 10 because it is the day when Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson died in 1863 after he was wounded by his own troops and the day Union soldiers captured fleeing Confederate President Jefferson Davis in Georgia in 1865.

A bill that would allow state employees to take the Juneteenth holiday or any other day instead of Confederate Memorial Day unanimously passed the South Carolina Senate in March but is stuck in a House committee and will likely die when the session ends Thursday.

Everyone should be required to drive through "South of the Border" at least one time. Coming from North Carolina, it was like entering the world of Mad Max.

Republicans don't think Slavery was THAT bad.

State's rights. If the state decides that Black people are subhuman and can be treated like farm animals, then that's up to the state.

shyt is INSANE.

Not that white people are still hardcore racist on average.. but that Black people either outright support them or are willing to stand back and let them have their way.
