Petition to Ban Confederate Flag from Walton County Courthouse

[Teresa]

Teresa I wasn't referring to people who actually live here (Walton County) year round either. Nor do I believe Ms. Meadows was.

I must have misunderstood.

 

[Misty]

Tell that to the outstanding African American speakers today.

Teresa, in my opinion the BCC listened today to the majority of their Constituents knowing it could well cost them their re-election. I don't think it was a decision any of them treated lightly knowing their paychecks were on the line.

They agreed to compromise which they didn't have to do, they could have left the other.

What Walton County BCC voted to do defines Walton County FL. I really don't see flying a lesser known symbol of racism as being better. Walton County BCC has spoken.

I respect your opinion even if I don't agree. And that's really what this is about.

And just what do you mean by that, Teresa? As you damn well know, I am a Westerner by birth, have no dog in this fight except to honor fallen soldiers and I thought the compromise was a very good one. What compromise did you want as you say this wasn't one?

Thank you. My heart breaks for so many. And I'm not talking about the white petitioners. Will their voices ever be heard?

People are posting so fast, I missed your answer to Misty. I really feel you and others should bear in mind that the perception of what is racism is, at least, a two way street.

Oh, please do not keep associating the end of all racism in removing a flag. I feel your passion but it is time to move forward. We have work to do in our own back yards to improve equality for all.

Would you have preferred a referendum? I can assure you had there been one the outcome of that would have been completely different.
