Are they implying Sanford is a racist town?

Robinson was harassed by Hispanics?

“We’ve come from the plantation, from the outhouse to the White House. You can’t shoot our children no more,” the Rev. Al Sharpton told one recent protest rally in Miami...."

Sorry Al old boy. You're dreaming again. You've never left the plantation. Think about it the next time you find yourself in a thoughful mood.

In 1946, the KKK was active in Massachusetts, for cripes sake.

Yeah, those sorts of bigotry and violence happened a lot in those days. The problem with bringing it up now is that to have meaningfully participated a Sanford resident would have to be eighty or older now. It is only relevant to the aggrieved and resentful seeking retribution. Pretty good description of Rev. Al?

Sharpton, Robinson, Lamb, and Martin are all not from Sanford, FL.

Interesting how the media can come up with something from 1946 but can’t seem to find any school records for the current occupant of the White House.

Very strange indeed. Especially the “media” in Qatar of all places. Lots of Jackie Robinson fans in Qatar I guess.

Who can't Al, who is the “you” you are talking about. And what do you mean “no more”. Who was and is shooting your children and who can do it “no more”.

Hey, read this, it's pretty good.

I love Jackie Robinson, as a player and as a man. Nice story. He really had class, well deserved self-respect and so much talent. It's almost a sacrilege to see hucksters like Sharpton and Jesse Jackson trying to ride his coat tails.

“white Hispanic”

Nothing but race baiting by a racist.

Well, the word is that there will be an announcement at a press conference by the Sanford PD this coming Tuesday that there will be no arrest in connection with this case because there is no evidence there was a crime committed. However, there is evidence that this was a case of self-defense.

Pffft! What about New York’s violent racist past?

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/317749.html

And talk about secessionists, let’s talk about those eco, globalist, anti-capitalist Republic of Cascadia Secession Movmenet.

http://attackthesystem.com/2012/04/03/republic-of-cascadia-secessionist-movement/
http://zapatopi.net/cascadia/

Or the State of Jefferson but that pretty much went belly-up with the start of WorldWar2

I’m tired of only the South being targeted and sullied by this racist, secessionist mess. As if that crud didn’t happen any other place.

In 1946, Robert Byrd was probably Grand Potentate.
