It's bad enough for anyone to tweet something like this. But you,
@GlennMcCJr? You're a pretty powerful dude in Mississippi. -
Your whole job is about economic development in the South. And here you celebrating the economic development of slave owning.
@GlennMcCJr -
Apologize,
@GlennMcCJr. Not a "I'm sorry your feelings are hurt" thing. But an actual apology to black people. -
While you're at it, since you work on economic development, start working on reparations.
@GlennMcCJr -
If Natchez had so much $ before big bad Civil War took it all away, what happened to it? Hire black researchers to tell you.

Claims of Ownership attempts to legitimatize what is actually CRIMINAL. Human enslavement, Rape and Torture.
