Apparently this Confederate flag business is like whack-a-mole: when you get someone to pull it down, it goes back up somewhere else. In this case, it’s Florida:
A county board in Florida has voted unanimously to make sure the Confederate flag continues flying atop a public site honoring deceased police officers,WKMG reports. According to the local news outlet, members of the Marion County Board of County Commissioners voted on Tuesday to re-raise a Confederate flag over the Fallen Officers Memorial in Ocala. The site of remembrance, which commemorates officers who died while performing official law enforcement duties, sits on land paid for by taxpayers, just outside the Marion County administration building on Southeast 25th street.
Thanks, Florida. As if Stand Your Ground laws didn’t give us enough reason to have beef with you.
Team Blackness also discussed Bill Cosby and how his moral grandstanding is leading to his undoing, the FBI raid on Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, and some ridiculous drivel out of Dr. Boyce Watkins.
