Okay, I know this looks bad, but I am a transplant to the state of South Carolina and I am just as shocked and outraged as you when I see shit like this. What the hell is going on here. I really am surrounded by a bunch of hill-billy ignorant asshats!!
I live in Greenville South Carolina. That’s right, the same Greenville where a Catholic Priest recently told his parishioners that they should not take communion if they voted for Obama because supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil." I live in the same Greenville that is home to Bob Jones University or as the locals call it, B-J-U. Yes, this is the same Christian University that did not allow black students to attend until 1971 and had a strict ban on interracial dating until the year 2000. Yes 2000!!!! The only reason why it was lifted then was because George Bush made a campaign stop at the school and McCain was hammering him for it.
Recently I wrote a diary that dealt with a different local store that was unable to stop the spread of the Bird Brain Flu. Trust me, I don’t just write about shit bag stores.
So today I’m browsing my local news website and I stumble across this headline: Redneck Shop Flies Obama-Confederate Flag
Then I click the link and am treated with a photo of this flag.
I am beside myself, but not really surprised. This store is called the Redneck Shop and it is not located in Greenville, but in Laurens County which borders us to the south. This place has been in the news before for selling KKK memorabilia and paraphernalia. A local resident actually drove his truck through the front of the store a few years ago during a fit of rage. I do not support any such actions which might hurt anybody or cause property damage, but if you would like to let the store owners know how you feel they have publicized their address and phone number 108 W Laurens St Laurens, SC Phone # 864-984-7484.
