Churches Are Being Set Ablaze. Is it 2015 or 1915?


What year is it again?  Racists are upset and burning down African American churches and terrorizing the community.  It seems as though we have gone through some type of Civil War time warp with Birth of a Nation as the soundtrack to the backward actions of pale face bigots in these United States.

Pissed off racists and Ku Klux Klan losers are dusting off their brutal tactics to keep the niggras in line.  This terrorism is nothing new.  For example, on June 21, 1995 four so called men affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan burned down beloved Macedonia Baptist Church and Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church. Both churches had majority African American congregations. Several arrests were made and in 1998, Grand Dragon Horace King and four other Klansmen were order to pay $37.8 million for conspiracy to burn Macedonia Baptist Church.  It's time to start making the KKK pay.  Again.

Of course, it goes back much further than that.  During and after Reconstruction in the South following the Civil War, angry former slave owners and their ilk rampaged throughout the South setting black people, churches, homes, crosses and anything else on fire to get their anger off at the recently freed slaves.  Lynching of black men in particular and women and children in general was all too common and approved of at the federal, state and local levels.

The terror actually never stopped.  We are being murdered for: driving while black, playing with toy guns while black, praying in church while black and basically breathing while black.  The list of things that may get you killed if you're a black person doing them are too numerous to mention here.

Until these murderous madmen are caught, tried and convicted of these heinous crimes we as a country will not move forward into a better future for all.  Make your voice heard and demand the full investigative power of the Department of Justice be used to bring these hate-filled bastards to justice.  As well as insist that local law enforcement do their jobs and put these terrorists thugs in jail.
