Here’s what’s going to happen during this Museum\/Confederate flag controversy. SouthsideCentral knows it all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yep, I’m predicting the timeline. Let’s see how close I’ll be.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Museum board makes request and knows to keep it as quiet as possible. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  2. Media finds out about it and publishes articles about it. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  3. Museum sits back and plays it calmly. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  4. Politicians who want no part of this controversy run away as fast as they can. Looking at you, Lee Vogler. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  5. Board members and former board members start disavowing the board’s majority vote. Bobby Roach, hello! CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  6. Politicians who never take a public stand on any controversial issue before their single yes\/no vote run away. Mayor Sherman Saunders, come on down! CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  7. Politicians who don’t mind taking positions on controversial issues take a public stand on the issue. Larry Campbell, spin that wheel! CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  8. The Usual Race Pimp Suspects quickly realize the can get some mileage out of this. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  9. Museum sits back and plays it calmly. CHECK AGAIN<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  10. Opposition start to form from rational people. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  11. Opposition starts to form from irrational people. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  12. Opposition starts to form from I DONT KNOW WHERE IN THE HELL DANVILLE\u00a0 IS BUT THEY AINT TAKIN MY DAMN FLAG people. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  13. Charles Roark will use this topic on his talk show to harvest the ignorance. (Probable CHECK<\/strong>! but I don’t watch that station.)<\/li>\n
  14. Museum sits back and plays it calmly. CHECK YET AGAIN<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  15. Flag supporters start to rally their forces. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n
  16. City Council starts getting calls and bulk emails from everybody. CHECK<\/strong>!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    OK, so far and so good. All’s proceeding according to the script. Let’s see what’s to come.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Peaceful assemblies will start happening in front of the museum.<\/li>\n
    2. 73,000 Danville Police officers will be present at these assemblies.<\/li>\n
    3. Museum sits back and plays it calmly.<\/li>\n
    4. People will make rational speeches in front of City Council.<\/li>\n
    5. People will make irrational speeches in front of City Council.<\/li>\n
    6. Museum sits back and plays it calmly.<\/li>\n
    7. Charles Roark will get video of the irrational flag supporters and try to paint the all the flag supporters as nutballs and loons.<\/li>\n
    8. Charles Roark will try to send Jessica Griffith in the middle of the controversy because he knows what would happen if he did it himself.<\/li>\n
    9. Another KKK message drop will happen in Danville because of this controversy.<\/li>\n
    10. Stupid people will believe that the KKK will actually show their faces and try to actually do something.<\/li>\n
    11. They won’t.<\/li>\n
    12. Danville United will become Danville Not United.<\/li>\n
    13. Museum sits back and plays it calmly.<\/li>\n
    14. The Danville City Council meeting when this vote will take place will be a circus.<\/li>\n
    15. City Council will vote to change the ordinance.<\/li>\n
    16. Heads will explode.<\/li>\n
    17. Museum sits back and plays it calmly.<\/li>\n
    18. More assemblies in front of the museum by the irrational groups over a now-lost cause.<\/li>\n
    19. The flag is moved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And the final piece of the script?<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Three months later, everybody has forgotten about this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The. End.<\/p>\n
