        It saddens me how some people think they are better than anyone else. God see's all of this hate and He is not pleased

        Sins of the past that linger in the fabric of America till this very day. No amount of detergent can wash it away but to acknowledge our sins with true feelings of remorse can be the start of a cleansing.

        Just up the road from me is a place that was a "sundown town" back when I was young. I still remember the horror I felt when I saw the sign. It said the same thing as what's described below about Hawthorne, CA. I can't bring myself to type those words.pic.twitter.com/x5nFd9yR6c

        When I got married, I moved to where my then Marine, and now ex-husband was stationed at Jacksonville, NC. About 20 miles out, there was a billboard with black letters on a white billboard that read, "This is KKK Country - N***** Beware". I got ill and asked to turn around.

        He was kicked, choked and beaten in the head with bricks and none of the men in these photos would ever face justice for what they did but Mr. Wilson would die a couple years after from what was widely believed to be complications brought on by the beatings. Remember him.

        Some people in this picture look like they're in their 20's, meaning they are probably still alive, living as someone's grandpa, teaching the same fine racist values, and voting for Trump/ GOP.
