Over ten thousand people in Charleston walked across the Ravenel bridge in a unity walk tonight, lead by the families of the victims killed at the church. People shared songs, prayers and a moment of silence for the nine people killed.
I guess there won't be a race war after all. Thanks to God for people of good faith and brotherly love, the foundation of America is yet strong, in spite of the hammer blows of those who would see it destroyed.
You realize the mainstream media hates this kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteIt contradicts the narrative.
DeleteNot sure I get the last pic. What's with the celebratory demeanor and flashing victory signs? Who won what in this tragedy? Shouldn't it be a somber and respectful occasion?

ReplyDeletePerhaps it means victory over evil and hate.
DeleteThat is worth surely worth celebrating. But it seems like murder is portrayed as cause for celebration. Was the event meant to be a dignified commemoration of tragedy and lost lives, or to celebrate the absence of Al Sharpton et al? The latter seems really inappropriate.
DeleteYou could look at it also as a victory of humanity rising above the natural tendency we saw displayed in Ferguson and Baltimore, where the claim of deadly bias ( false in one instance, unproven and likely false in the second) resulted in even more hate and the destruction of the local neighborhood by thugs, race baiters and looters. Especially here, where your really did have multiple murders based on hate, that victory is one to celebrate. Instead of revenge, growing mindless hate and destruction, you have the opposite, even when the provocation is much worse.
DeleteAgreed. Things go better without Al Sharpton. But, imagine the picture being shown without any explanation of the circumstances. Who, in their right mind, would guess the people pictured were reacting to the hateful slaughter of innocent worshippers? Those happy folks in the picture do not seem to be aware of the irreversible and crushing wound with which the survivors must now, and forever, live. It seems disrespectful.
Deletethe church was built in 1816 by free blacks who owned other blacks and the free blacks in Charleston supported the csa.another shocker for Yankees is the Charleston greys an artillery unit made up of jews!! who also ran the slave trade in sc.and and!! the baruchs father and son famous finaciers and very admired in the south were jews and confederate officers the elder the had of the medical corps for the csa armry and after the war was a member holy crap! in the kkk.so everything is not as it seems. also please actually read the emancipation declaration its puts paid to the idea that the war was about slavery. your friend truckwilkins
ReplyDeleteIn the famous Cornerstone Speech the vice-President of the Confederate States of America, Alexander H. Stephens, said this about the newly founded nation:
Delete“Our new government is founded upon… the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition.”
Those words make it difficult to conclude that secession was not meant to preserve slavery. Any thoughts?
my direct ancestor Alfred wilkins joined company e "the lone star boys" 23rd nc regt he is listed in the census as none white.which mostly meant indian he was a sharecropper and didn't own anything.he and his brother walked from smithfeid nc to Weldon nc about fifty miles barefoot.in our family he is known as the old indian he fought in about all the major battles was wounded.and so the idea that he fought so that some rich man could own slaves is ridiculas to me. your friend truckwilkins
Deleteps. the last time youall pushed us into a corner there was great loss of life.also all the other countires in this hemisphere that had slavery managed to do away with it with a lot of bloodshed.beware the southron who is no longer polite
