UDC refuses to defend Confederate flag
Another Southern flag has been removed from public display, this time at the Haywood County, North Carolina courthouse. Several parties are to blame for destroying this bit of heritage and symbol of the Southern people, including County Manager Marty Stamey, Waynesville Attorney Bob Clark and ironically Aileen Ezell, the turn-coat president of the NC Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). Becky Johnson covers the story for SmokeyMountainNews.com:
The county was forced to wade into the fray in June, when a local attorney complained about the tiny flag display and asked the county to intervene.
“Personally, I have been more than uncomfortable with the flag’s presence on government property,” Waynesville Attorney Bob Clark wrote in an email to county commissioners. “Will you please take action, quietly and effectively, to stop the display of this divisive symbol?”
It’s unsurprising that politically-correct politicians and lawyers would side against the Southern people. What is most sad about the story is that a supposedly pro-Southern organisation which once put Confederate monuments up throughout Dixie has acquiesced to the demands of anti-Southern elements.
One Confederate group, the United Daughters of the Confederacy, urged local Confederate supporters not to cause a ruckus.
“The best thing to do in this case is not to replace the flag you are using and let the matter die a natural death,” wrote Aileen Ezell, president of the N.C. Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. “We gain nothing by fighting this. It is amazing to me that such a small flag has caught so much attention.”
Thankfully, some loyal Southerners have vowed to fight this effort to eliminate Dixie’s most recognisable symbol:
Some of the local Confederate supporters in Haywood County have decided to go to the mat over the tiny flags after all, however. Several of them staged a protest outside the courthouse this week, and have pledged to appear before the county commissioners at the next county meeting and lobby permission to put their flag back out.
“The best thing to do in this case is not to replace the flag you are using and let the matter die a natural death,”
Don’t worry, the South is going to die with people like you in charge Aileen Ezell. It won’t be a natural death though. It will be from cowardly attitudes like this, along with all the other PC crap these groups promote.
I’m starting to dislike people like this more than the full blown anti-whites to be honest. If you don’t have the balls to say what needs to be said, or stand up for what you claim to be fighting to perserve then get the F out of the way. I wouldn’t be suprised if she took it down personally.
The UDC shows no concern for Southern heritage or culture… I would go as far as saying they mainly have an anti-southern agenda all together.
The general membership of the United Daughters of the Confederacy had better wake up to the fact that their honored and honorable organization has been hijacked by the enemies of everything for which the UDC is supposed to stand. If they don’t DO something – and quickly – the genocide of Southern culture, heritage, history, heroes, symbols, monuments and organizations like the UDC will be complete and there will be nothing left for them to “celebrate.”
I do not believe that those in the upper echelon of the UDC represent the viewpoint of the regular membership, but certainly they have “come out of the closet” with their politically correct revisionist policies to the extent that the membership can no longer claim ignorance of the leadership’s agenda.
So it boils down to this: do the members of the UDC – aside from the present treasonous “leadership” – BELIEVE in the aims and goals of the organization, or are they playing a game unworthy of those who came before. If they DO believe in the principles of the UDC as stated by those who founded the organization, TIME IS RUNNING OUT for them to take BACK the UDC from its present scalawag “leadership.”
The next time someone asks me to remove a Confederate symbol, I will simply ask them, “And will you remove your American flag? Because I see *that* as a hate-symbol. *That* flag flew over the burning, raping, and pillaging of Atlanta and other Southern cities. *That* flag has flown over every attempt to oppress and stamp out *my* people. So until you remove *every* American flag from this region, I won’t remove my flag.”
“….Don’t worry, the South is going to die with people like you in charge Aileen Ezell. It won’t be a natural death though. It will be from cowardly attitudes like this, along with all the other PC crap these groups promote….”
The question for Southern Activism is AGE.
Ezell is about 90 years old (literally). It would be VERY interesting, in fact— to know the average age of members at the moment. BET it is —off top of head— 62.
What S. Activists should be doing is joining by the droves—- because very soon, these people are going to be GONE. the new generation could be positioned to step right in, to a whole organizational apparatus.
Quit bitching, join, position yourself. In –truly— ten years, you could be running it. And then do what you want.
You can start new orgs— but the old ones have amassed things— property, money, art works, reputation, contacts, network structures, etc.
Already, they do not have enough officers. Another possibility—- start a renegade chapter of it and relate to the main org that way
— Yes… doesn’t it suck that the left simply infiltrated huge orgs— like Ford Foundation, Ghandi’s foundations, etc.
People bitch about that— but won’t even infiltrate their “own” societies, lol
If you don’t do it— somebody else will…
Dixiegirl, I am a member of the UDC. I am not yet 40 and if there is anyone younger than myself in my rather large chapter, I am unaware of it. I would guess that all of our officers are over 50 (or 60 even). Many of the other members are older still. I love my heritage but disagree with many of the things the UDC does. I think that the only reason I continue to be an active member is so that perhaps someday I can move into a position of leadership and correct some of the things I think they are currently doing wrong.
Amy,
With more people such as yourself, that organization will have a bright future!
Lady Val,
I know what you are saying, but as long as organizational “apparatus” (for lack of a better word) exists, it’s possible to regain an organization, imo. There are a lot of organizations and institutions that were taken over, the Ford Foundation, for instance—so even if it were entirely taken over, it could be taken back (of course, one hopes the situation won’t get that dire.)
