Lawsuit is misguided
The Attorney General of South Carolina, Charlie (“I want to be Governor”) Condon, says the NAACP’s protests at South Carolina welcome centers are illegal. He is suing them. The NAACP leaders say Condon is using the lawsuit “to suppress expressions with which he does not agree.”

The NAACP protestors are at Welcome stations on the borders where they urge visitors to the state to not stop and not spend money, just to keep on going through. The NAACP started their economic boycott against South Carolina in January 2000 because the Confederate flag continues to fly on statehouse grounds.

Given the large number of new persons moving to the state and clogging roads, creating long lines in restaurants, building houses on open space, escalating demands for public funded infrastructure, crowding schools, and generally making life miserable for those living in the quiet shadows all these years, Condon ought to be thanking – not suing – the NAACP.
