You might find my comments a little off the line, but my opinion of SCV has dropped 3 or 4 notches in the past few years, and am totally disappointed in them.
Rather than take the fight to the offenders, they took the politically correct "soft speak" as a response. The SCV should have taken the lead much earlier in this fight, and blown off any chants of racism. As I understand there were several legal options that could have been taken to save some of these monuments, but the SCV chose not to fight.
90-95% of members I know are absolutely not racist, and have a love of southern culture, and want to honor their ancestors who served to protect their homeland. To anyone who thinks otherwise, provide a sane response, and I will respond.
SCV's efforts in simple terms..... Too Little ...Too Late.
