    There were more than three dozen unsolved racially motivated bombings in Birmingham during the Civil Rights era. Authorities would often accuse victims of planting the bombs.https://n.pr/2yE8Mfk

        isn't that the way we do it in USA? blame the victims whether it is civil rights violations. woman for sexual assault, kidnapped children for daring to try to enter the country, LGBTQ for being different and blacks for being black.

        Just say racist. Shorter and more accurate than “racially motivated”

        Why cover the truck? Why not leave those Trumpian stickers in clear view so everyone can see what hateful speech brings about.

        I had the opportunity to sit on the steps on the 16th St. Baptist Church in Birmingham last spring, shed a tear and remembered how much that horrific event changed by life and political views...

        And it’s still happening today. Trump practically blamed Pittsburgh victims because they didn’t have a security guard.

        I thought we as a country had progressed beyond this. It’s so disheartening for confirmation that we have not and history just keeps repeating itself.

        If your ideas and content are so great then why do you need so much taxpayer funding? Your entire network sounds like it is abusing a Lithium prescription. Way to stoked a racist agenda NPC.

        I really hope to God you NPC folks get more and more public airtime for your views and statements. I wish I could personally make your opinions even more wide spread. I'm being honest. That would be the single greatest way to watch you all collapse in flames.
