valid point about the Jim Crow era, these areas of America have been, and continue to be, plagued by racism and have
far too many of the nazi inspired low-life that was responsible for the murder of an innocent woman.
What I don't accept is these antifa nutters, who are blithely unaware that the vast majority of the founding fathers were slave owners,
that the civil war was solely about slavery, that the North were the goodies, and the Confederacy was pure evil,and that Lincoln
was a paragon of tolerance towards black people.
