He is wrong on every single point, J.B.- The State flag being so easy to check for a person of average intelligence just shows how ignorant the other points are.
But really, it's not worth arguing with pieces of shit like this. Better to let them believe what they believe and hopefully "boycott" and stay the fuck out.
He actually was only partially wrong. The confederate flag had flown over the state capitol from 1962 until 2000.
On April 12, 2000, the South Carolina state senate finally passed a bill to remove the flag by a majority of 36-7. The bill specified that a more traditional version of the battle flag (square shaped as opposed to the rectangular flag now flying above the statehouse) would be flown in front of the Capitol next to a monument honoring fallen Confederate soldiers. The bill then went to the House, where it encountered some difficulty. But on May 18, 2000, after the bill was modified to ensure that the height of the flag's new pole would be 30 feet, it was passed by a majority of 66 to 43, and Governor Jim Hodges signed the bill five days later. On July 1, the flag was removed from the South Carolina statehouse.
