A proposed construction project at the corner John C. Calhoun Drive and Russell Street in Orangeburg has put a Confederate monument and a Maurice Bessingers BBQ in danger.
The project has many people crying foul. Both of the properties in danger are the targets of a twenty year old campaign by the NAACP and other black racial groups to eradicate symbols of the Confederacy. More recently the NAACP has expanded their efforts and now opposes Confederate symbols in cemeteries and even museums.
The selection of the intersection is allegedly based on safety concerns. However, the SCDOT says there are only an average of ten rear-end collisions per year at the intersection. This is a very low number. There is also no traffic light at the intersection, only a stop sign. Critics say that a simple traffic light would solve safety concerns. Patrick Hall, a senior transportation planner at the Atlanta Regional Commission says he believes the project is not justified.
Critics are suggesting that the project is a political and racially motivated attack on symbols of the Confederacy. The evidence seems to support this.

Destroying a people and their history by attacking their text books and monuments is Communism 101, now, in a post-Gramscian world rebranded as multiculturalism.
Time to dig in your heels brothers and sisters and put your all on the line for yourselves and your posterity. This is war.
These cowardly creeps can be defeated but only with a superior display of courage and will.
Amen i’m all in, always have been. Been doing my part.
