It is a different world and actually when I grew up was a different world from my parents.
My Grandmother’s First Cousin, 12 year old Bessie Morrison was raped and murdered by 3 Black men in Leonia, Florida. She was the same age as Grandmother and they were best friends.
The perpetrators were caught, questioned, and immediately shot to death. A fourth Black man was determined to be innocent and released. When people today criticize these men, they are critical of their betters.
My Daddy was crazy. Mother told me she was sometimes afraid of what he might do. He was a man of action and got away with things which today would get you in serious trouble. Daddy’s First Cousin was golden gloves champion of Florida. That whole family was tough. Interestingly the girls were as gentle as lambs but they too had an inner toughness.
My mother in law RIP was sexually assaulted in 1942 by 4-5 black men near the Parthenon in Nashville walking to bus stop on West End at night from her job selling war bonds as a Bell operator nearby
Like my wife she was tiny five foot delicate build but buxom
They dragged her into nearby bushes in the park and tore her clothes off and molested her while two held her legs open and one got ready to penetrate whilst the last one ...well....you know what he did....bastards savage sub humans
She was a 17 year old virgin of course in those days fresh outta high school in Rutherford
Anyhow
A group of sailors passing nearby heard the noise and came over and rescued her and caught three of them and beat them almost to death
A stomp
One of the sailors became in time after his combat tour my wife’s daddy and had a 52 year marriage and three kids with the victim...my MIL
He later did CIB action in Korea and Nam in air force retiring in his 40s
He’s gone now too
The blacks got long stretches at Riverbend
Like I said they used to fear us
My mother in law never talked about it but she would break out in hives and tremble with any young black men around
This is but one of a half dozen incidents I know of personally in my life
This is Dixie
Self righteous Non Rebs just don’t get it....never will
No offense...it’s not their fault really.....naive and idealistic and that lure of superiority
But down here we have dealt with behavior peculiarities going on 400 years now
So called Racist whites feared what we are living now.....does this escape all but me?
Ben Carson....the exception doesn’t fix the rule
The nuts today would say that given in truth the victims great grandpa was a major slaveholder ...Belleview Plantation near Murfreesboro and sesch and her great grandma sister to Gen WP Barksdale of Gettysburg ultimate valour that she deserved it
