We now have Wall Street, Banksters, and special interests forming this alliance which preys on the hate of the Dixiecrats and has allowed wealth distribution from the middle class to the 1%. I was born in 1951. Only twenty years before my birth these events were unfolding in Decatur where I still have family living.
I saw the jim Crow of Birmingham in the 1950s, and saw the pressure to leave a public swimming pool when a black child was swimming as all white people left the pool in the 1960s.
Today I see thread after thread trying to feed into the fear of black crime. I see the resentment toward New York, and interference with the ability to give equal rights to brown people and black people.
On this forum, the undercurrent of the same is overpowering. Mr. Markle calls people communist, just like they did the lawyer who defended these teenagers. It is not by accident that the flames of hate and intolerance are fanned. It is by design. The denial of our history, dooms us to repeat the same. Please take the time to read every line of the wiki link on this incident......tell me I am wrong......please tell me I am wrong.
